Abstract
The title compounds, C23H22O4, (I), and C24H24O5, (II), differ in the presence of a methoxy atom instead of a hydrogen atom between two methoxy groups at the phenyl ring, which greatly affects the molecular conformations and the symmetries of the crystals.
The title compounds, C23H22O4, (I), and C24H24O5, (II), differ in the presence of a methoxy group instead of a hydrogen atom between two methoxy groups attached to the phenyl ring of the phenyl acetate moiety, which affects not only the symmetry and number of formula units [triclinic, P1, Z = 2 for (I); monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 4 for (II)], but also the molecular conformations. An overlay of the two molecular structures reveals a large root-mean-square-deviation of 2.4 Å. Intra and intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the consolidation of the molecular conformations and the crystal packing of both structures. Their intermolecular interactions were quantified and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, revealing that H⋯H interactions contribute most to the crystal packing.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
