The Crystal and Molecular Structure of 4-Hydroxy-4'-nit ro-bip henyl and its Potassium Salt
The crystal and molecular structures of the title compounds have been solved by single crystal Xray analysis. 4-Hydroxy-4'-nitro-biphenyl (NBO) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric, monoclinic space group I'21/n with a = 6.036(4) 8, b = 12.392(3) 8, c = 13.346(8) 8, p = 96.46(3)" and 4 molecules in the unit cell. Its potassium salt (NBOK) similarly belongs to P21/a with a = 11.277(2) 8, b = 7.3606(6) A, c == 14.383(3) 8, p = 107.804(7)" and also 4 molecules in the unit cell. The structure of NBO was refined by full matrix least-squares calculation to R = 0.043 for 1105 observed reflections, the structure of NBOK to R = 0.041 for 2288 observed reflections, respectively. NBO and NBOK crystallize in layer-like structures. The biphenyl molecules of NBO are arranged as corrugated ribbons in layers. The ionic and polar moiety of NBOK (potassium, oxygen, and crystal water) are separated by biphenyl units to form layers. The almost planar biphenyl units of NBOK are arranged in pairs and exhibit a short molecular distance of 3.08 8 within one pair.
Die Kristall-und Molekiilstrukturen der Titelsubstanzen wurden mit Hilfe der Einkristallstrukturanalyse aufgeklart. 4-Hydroxy-4'-nitro-biphenyl (NBO) kristallisiert in der zentrosymmetrischen, nionoklinen Raurngruppe P21/n mit a = 6.036( 4) 8, b = 12.392(3) 8, c = 13.346(8) 8, /3 = 96.46(3)" und 4 Molekiilen in dcr Elementarzelle, das Kaliumsalz (NBOK) in P21/a mit a = 11.277(2) A, b = 7.3606(6) A, c = 14.383(3) A, /? = 107.804(7)" und cbenfalls 4 Molekiilen in der Elementarzelle. Die Strukturen wurdcn mit Hilfe der Methode der kleinsten Fehlerquadrate verfeinert und fiihrten bci NBO zu R = 0.043 bei 1105 beobachteten Reflexen und bei NBOK zu R = 0.041 bei 2288 beobachteten Reflexen. NBO und NBOK kristallisieren in schichtartigen Anordnungen. Wahrend beim NBO die Biphenyl-Molekiile zick-zack-fiirmig angeordnet in den Schichten liegcn, trennen beim NBOK die Bipheriylcinhcitcn die atis ionischen und polaren Molekiilteilen (Kalium, Sauerstoff und Kristallwasser) gebildctcn Ebcnen. Die annahernd planaren Ringe des Biphenyls bildcn Paare von geringem molekularem Abstand a.us.
