The Solid-State Structures of Cyclic NH Carboximides

Abstract

The patterns adopted in the solid state structures of over 300 cyclic NH carboximides as determined by X-ray diffraction are reviewed. While the analysis shows that the majority of these fit into just a few common patterns, a significant number exhibit more complex and interesting patterns involving the other functional groups present in addition to the cyclic imide.
