Implication

Structural study reveals dual intermolecular hydrogen bonding to a carbonyl oxygen in a ketone complex, indicating rare noncovalent assembly patterns.

Key Points

To synthesize and structurally characterize a molecular adduct in which the carbonyl oxygen atom of a simple ketone participates as an acceptor in two simultaneous intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Assembled a supramolecular complex containing a simple ketone acceptor and hydrogen-bonding donor molecules.
Analyzed the solid-state molecular architecture and coordination geometry using structural crystallography techniques.
Demonstrated that the carbonyl oxygen of a simple ketone successfully accepts two distinct intermolecular hydrogen bonds within a single complex.
Identified that bifurcated noncovalent interactions can stabilize carbonyl-based adducts in defined structural geometries.
