Redetermination of germacrone type II based on single-crystal X-ray data

Abstract

The extraction and purification procedures, crystallization and crystal structure refinement (single-crystal X-ray data) of germacrone type II, C15H22O, are presented. The structural results are compared with a previous powder X-ray synchrotron study [Kaduk et al. (2022). Powder Diffr. 37, 98–104], revealing significant improvements in terms of accuracy and precision. Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR), as well as Hirshfeld surface analysis, give insight into the intermolecular interactions of germacrone type II.
