Jc. Wallet et al., 1 : 1 crystal complexes of 2 ',6 '-dimethoxyflavone with 3-bromo and 3-chloro-2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid, CRYST RES T, 35(8), 2000, pp. 1001-1009
The structures of two solid inclusion compounds with the 2',6'-dimethoxyfla
vone host molecule, 1, were investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
Both compounds, 1.3 -bromo-2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid (1:1) and 1.3-chloro-2
,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid (1:1) crystallize in the centrosymmetric group P (
1) over bar. The complexation involves an intermolecular hydrogen bond betw
een the carbonyl group of the flavone and the acidic hydrogen of the acid.
