Dimethyl 2,2'-[(4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-5,7-diyl)dioxy]diacetate: a more densely packed polymorph
Abstract:
The title mol-ecule, C(21)H(18)O(8), crystallizes in two crystal polymorphs, see also Nallasivam, Nethaji, Vembu & Jaswant [Acta Cryst. (2009), E65, o314-o315]. The mol-ecules of both polymorphs differ by the conformation of the oxomethyl-acetate groups. The title mol-ecules are rather planar compared to the mol-ecules of the other polymorph. In the title mol-ecule, one of the oxomethyl-acetate groups is disordered (occupancies of 0.6058/0.3942). The structures of both polymorphs are stabilized by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions. Due to the planarity of the title mol-ecules and similar inter-molecular inter-actions, the title mol-ecules are more densely packed than those of the other polymorph.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
