Quantitative Analysis of Intermolecular Interactions in 7-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one and Its Hydrate

The determination of the crystal and molecular structure of organic compounds has contributed immensely towards the area of crystal engineering. This contributes towards the understanding of the molecular geometry and the different intermolecular interactions which control crystal packing. An approach which quantifies the energetics associated with the formation of different “molecular pairs” is of importance to recognize the hierarchy of...
