Abstract

The crystal structure of heptane-1,2,3-tril (space group P21 c, a = 20.488(8), b = 4.810(2), c = 9.087(5) A ̊, β = 103.03(4)°) was determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to K = 0.072 (Rw = 0.062). The molecules adopt an all-trans conformation. They are arranged tail-to-tail in the crystal lattice and linked by hydrogen bonds which involve all hydroxyl groups and form infinite chains in the b,c plane.
