Abstract
The crystal structures of two hydrates of aglycon flavonoids, fisetin dihydrate [systematic name: 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one dihydrate, C15H10O6·2H2O, P21, Z = 2] and luteolin monohydrate [systematic name: 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one monohydrate, C15H10O6·H2O, P41212, Z = 8] were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and are reported for the first time. The two crystal forms were obtained from ethanol–water mixtures. These structures provide a foundation for future studies on the thermodynamic role of water molecules in crystal stability and packing, enabling further investigation of hydration effects on flavonoid solubility and stability.
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.
