Polymorphs of 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclohexane and multiple Z crystal structures by melt and sublimation crystallization

Bipul Sarma, Saikat Roy and Ashwini Nangia


Close packing conflict in a metastable polymorph of the pure title host (Z = 2, melt crystal 1m) is resolved in the stable form (Z = 1, sublimed crystal 1s) as O–HO hydrogen bond changes to O–H interaction. Melt crystallization and sublimation show a greater percentage of high Z structures in CSD statistics.
