Z. Bockskei et al., ON THE ISOSTRUCTURAL MOLECULAR-COMPOUND FORMATION OF A STEROID WITH ALPHA-NAPHTHOLS AND BETA-NAPHTHOLS, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 51, 1995, pp. 1319-1322
The crystal structures of the molecular compounds androsta-1,4-diene-3
,1 7-dione-1-naphthol (1/1) and androsta-1,4-diene-3,1 7-dione-2-napht
hol two isomers of C19H24O2 . C10H8O, are described. The degree of iso
structurality is characterized and an explanation for the preservation
of a mutual crystal structure is established. Correlation is made bet
ween the chemical properties and the properties found in the crystals.
