Conformational polymorphism of 3-(azidomethyl)- benzoic acid

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Three conformational polymorphs of 3-(azidomethyl)benzoic acid, C8H7N3O2, are reported. All three structures maintain similar carboxylic acid dimers and π-π stacking. Crystal structure analysis and computational evaluations highlight the azidomethyl group as a source of conformational polymorphism, thus having potential implications in the design of solid-state reactions.

Funding

X-ray crystallographic data were collected at the University of Montana X-ray diffraction core facility supported by the Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics CoBRE (National Institutes of Health, CoBRE NIGMS). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected using a Bruker D8 Venture diffractometer, principally supported by an NSF MRI grant. This work was supported in part by the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust for a Partnership in Science award.
