Question:

The question of whether you have synthesized a monomeric (X) or dimeric (X2) species can be solved in a number of ways. 

(a) Will elemental analysis help you? 

(b) The compound contains an organic unit that can be probed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Will this technique distinguish between monomer and dimer? 

(c) What information could you gain from mass spectrometry? 

(d) A single crystal X-ray diffraction study at 223 K shows the presence of the dimer X2? Does this mean that monomeric X never forms?
