The crystal structures of 2',4'- dihydroxy- 3- methoxy-alpha,beta-dihydrochalcone, C16H16O4, and 2',4- dihydroxy-alpha,beta- dihydrochalcone, C15H14O3, have been determined. In both compounds, the structure consists of two nearly planar six-membered aromatic rings connected by a propanal chain, which is bent in the methoxy compound and almost straight in the other compound. In the crystal structures, the molecular units of both compounds are linked by O - H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds to form infinite one- dimensional chains. Hydrogen bonds and C - H center dot center dot center dot O contacts in the crystal structures were studied by topological analysis of charge density based on Hartree - Fock calculations. Almost all of the investigated C - H center dot center dot center dot O contacts should be characterized as weak hydrogen bonds.
