Abstract:
In the title compound, C13H14O5, the furan ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.031 (3) Å] with a stereogenic center (R) at the sp (3) hybridized C atom. The C atom bearing the dihy-droxy ethyl group is S. The absolute configuration is based on the precursor in the synthesis. The two O-H groups are in an anti conformation with respect to each other. The mean plane of the furan-one group is twisted by 8.2 (4)° from that of the phenyl ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving furan-one C=O groups and symmetry-related hy-droxy groups, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). Weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed within the two-dimensional network.

02:23Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and...

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
