52. 1/n (CSD refcode MEPXEK) appears to be erroneous, so this crystal structure was redetermined. Reflections were solved and refined in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (R-factor 4.2%). See Table 1 for crystallographic data.

55. Intramolecular C-F⋯O=C repulsion could be yet another reason to avoid the planar conformation and hence the urea tape motif.
56. Torsional potential for rotation of phenyl ring about the urea amide bond was plotted using DFT calculations. The most stable conformation of diphenyl urea is planar, and the orthogonal conformation is the least stable (ΔE = 8 kcal/mol), as in our calculation. Tang, H.; Doerksen, R. J.; Tew, G. N. Chem.
