Table 4. Bond lengths (Å) obtained by applying the cluster-based S-FFT algorithm to powder diffraction (PD) data and by least-squares refinement from single-crystal (SC) data.
Bonds have been grouped into types: (i) average C—C bond lengths from PD and SC (the former are longer by a factor of 1.035, which may be attributed to the non-inclusion of H atoms in DM); (ii) single and double C—O bonds are correctly assigned with similar average lengths, 1.30 (PD) and 1.27 Å (SC); (iii) distances between hydrogen-bonded O atoms are practically coincident.
| Bond type | PD | SC |
|---|---|---|
| C—C (single bond) (14×) | 1.56 (9) | 1.51 (3) |
| C—C (phenyl ring) (12×) | 1.43 (8) | 1.38 (2) |
| C—O (≃ single bond) (2×) | 1.50 (3) | 1.32 (1) |
| C—O (≃ double bond) (2×) | 1.09 (6) | 1.21 (1) |
| O⋯O (hydrogen bonds) (2×) | 2.66 (1) | 2.65 (1) |
