Abstract
A new polymorph of maltol, a food and intermediate pharmaceutical material, is discovered through solution crystallization process using a mixed solvent of water and ethanol with l-menthol as an additive. It belongs to monoclinic crystal system with lattice parameters: a = 7.136(8) Å, b = 24.23(3) Å, c = 7.020(8) Å, and β = 106.22(3)°, volume = 1165 (2) Å3 and the refinement factor is R = 6.64%. With single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) data as input, the intermolecular interactions between the new polymorph of maltol is investigated through Hirshfeld surface analysis, the higher percentage of overall interaction between the polymorph (H…H) interaction, and the (O…H) interaction contributes more to the generation of new polymorph. The 2D finger print plot depicts the interactions are mainly due to the hydrogen bonds.
期刊介绍:
The journal Crystal Research and Technology is a pure online Journal (since 2012).
Crystal Research and Technology is an international journal examining all aspects of research within experimental, industrial, and theoretical crystallography. The journal covers the relevant aspects of
-crystal growth techniques and phenomena (including bulk growth, thin films)
-modern crystalline materials (e.g. smart materials, nanocrystals, quasicrystals, liquid crystals)
-industrial crystallisation
-application of crystals in materials science, electronics, data storage, and optics
-experimental, simulation and theoretical studies of the structural properties of crystals
-crystallographic computing
