were synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of 3-(4-aryl)-2-thioxo-1, 3-
thiazolidin-4-ones with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. Both products were isolated as orange
crystalline solids in good yields and were fully characterized by analytical, spectroscopic
and structural methods. The interesting supramolecular assemblies of the title compounds
observed in the solid state were analyzed by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations …
