Popis: Androsta-1,4-dien-17β-ol-3-one, also known as boldenone, is an anabolic-androgenic steroid derived from testosterone. The crystal structures of boldenone base, boldenone acetate, boldenone propionate, boldenone cypionate and a boldenone acetate polymorph obtained by high throughput screening were investigated. Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots breakdown revealed that the molecular packing in the crystals are driven by dominant H⋯H intermolecular contacts, followed by O⋯H/H⋯O contacts and to a lesser degree C⋯H/H⋯C contacts. The steroid skeleton rings, for all the reported compounds, adopt the following conformation: planar in A, chair in B and C, whereas C(13) envelope conformations are found for the five-membered D rings. The total lattice energies were calculated as a sum of four terms (Coulombic, polarization, dispersion, repulsion).
