“…The unit cell of the structures of HMB and HMCB, and the layered packing of the eight molecules, can be seen in participates in a system of conjugated double bonds (on, or close to, an aromatic ring) are formed of centrosymmetrically related pairs (allowed space groups PT, P2~/c, C2/c and Pbca), e.g. salicylic acid (Cochran, 1953), dibenzoylmethane (Williams, 1966), co-(p-toluoyl)-acetophenone enol (Kato, 1971), benzoylacetone (Semmingsen, 1972, genisteine (Breton et al, 1974), tropolone (Shimanouchi & Sasada, 1970), and also two derivatives of tropolone (Wiehager, 1975). The low photochemical reactivity of certain derivatives of benzophenone especially some with hydroxyl groups in the ortho position were studied by Beckett & Porter (1963).…”
