Redetermination of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene
Abstract
The structure of the centrosymmetric title compound, C8H10O2, originally determined by Goodwin et al. [Acta Cryst.(1950), 3, 279–284], has been redetermined to modern standards of precision to aid in its use as a model compound for 13C chemical-shift tensor measurements in single-crystal NMR studies. In the crystal structure, a C—H...O interaction helps to establish the packing.
