A Paucity of Hydrogen Bonds in Ferrocene-1,1'-diylbis[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol]– Methanol (3/2)
摘要:
In the 3:2 adduct formed between ferrocene-1,1'diylbis[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol] and methanol, 3[Fe(C20H19O3)(2)].2CH(4)O, the ferrocenediol occupies two types of site. Ferrocenediol molecules in general positions form intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds and are hydrogen-bonded to methanol molecules by a single O-H...O hydrogen bond, while ferrocene-diol molecules lying across centres of inversion form no O-H...O hydrogen bonds. Overall, only half of the hydroxyl groups in the asymmetric unit act as donors in O-H...O hydrogen bonds, while none of the seven independent methoxy groups acts as accepters of O-H...O hydrogen bonds.
