Popis: | An X-ray crystallographic study of di-n-propyl-p-terphenyl-4,4″-carboxylate (DPTC) showed that the crystals belong to the triclinic system with space groupP¯1,a=22.191(14),b=5.960(1),c=10.951(4) A, α=129.651(16), β=102.560(51), and γ=83.103(39) ° with two molecules per unit cell. The crystal structure was solved by Patterson synthesis, Fourier, and difference Fourier calculations. It was refined by block-diagonal and full-matrix least-squares methods to a finalR factor of 0.17. The molecules form a herringbone type of packing in tilted layers. Each of the two molecules is nonplanar in itself and shows highly anisotropic behavior of the end groups. |
