โฆ Synopsis
The crystal structure determination of the title compound, C~12~H~10~O, has been reported previously [Gupta & Gupta (1975). Acta Cryst. B31, 7โ9], with an R value of 0.078. The results reported here are in agreement with the literature data but a more precise molecular geometry is obtained (ฯ on CโC = 0.002โ ร ). Intermolecular OโH...O hydrogen bonds connect molecules into a chain running parallel to the [010] direction. This chain is reinforced by two CโH...ฯ interactions.

Acenaphthenyl acetate and acenaphthenol are resolved through Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL)-catalyzed hydrolysis and acylation, respectively. By contrast, the structurally related 1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl acetate and 1-(1naphthyl)ethanol are inactive under the same reaction conditions.
The crystal structure of the title compound, (I), indole-3-carboxaldehyde was refined to R(F) = 0.053 from room-temperature diffraction measurements (Golubev & Kondrashev, 1984). This re-refinement represents an improvement; all H atoms were located and refined. In the crystal structure, the molecul
