Conclusion
The study successfully corrected the space group assignment of [6]cyclo-2,7-naphthylene and revealed its refined molecular structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The refined molecular structure shows that [6]CNAP has the smallest deformation in the planar naphthyl rings.
- Superior quality crystals were obtained by re-optimizing the crystallization conditions.
- The study corrected the space group assignment to Cmca from the original determination.
Takeaway
The researchers made better crystals of a compound called [6]CNAP, which helped them understand its structure better.
Methodology
Single crystals of [6]CNAP were prepared from anthracene melt with optimized crystallization conditions.
