| Popis: | Five pure 4,4‘-disubstituted meso-hydrobenzoins and one solid solution have been investigated crystallographically. The aim was to establish whether a favorable hydrogen-bonding network and aromatic herringbone packing motif might make the lamellar structure shared by meso-hydrobenzoin (mHB) and meso-hydroanisoin sufficiently robust to serve as a reliable template on which to construct isomorphous surfaces containing various functional groups. Complete structures of the 4,4‘-difluoro-, 4,4‘-dichloro-, and 4,4‘-dibromo-meso-hydrobenzoins and an average structure of the disordered 4,4‘-dimethyl derivative were determined by X-ray diffration. Partial structures of twinned or disordered crystals of the 4,4‘-diethyl derivative and of the 1:1 mixed crystal of the 4,4‘-dimethyl and 4,4‘-dibromo derivatives were determined by morphological and optical studies supplemented by diffraction. While the fluoro and ethyl compounds preserve the complete layer structure of mHB, and the bromo and chloro compounds preserve ... |
