Abstract

Abstract : A re-refinement of the published but chemically implausible, crystal structure of "Form III" of 4-bromophenyl 4-bromobenzoate shows that it is not a polymorph, but instead a co-crystal. Abstract : A re-refinement of the published but chemically implausible, crystal structure of "Form III" of 4-bromophenyl 4-bromobenzoate shows that it is not a polymorph, but instead a co-crystal containing both 4-bromophenyl 4-bromobenzoate (≈25%) and likely 4-bromophenyl 4-nitrobenzoate (≈75%).
