Abstract:Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 293 K; mean (C-C) = 0.006 Å; Hatom completeness 76%; disorder in main residue; R factor = 0.057; wR factor = 0.142; data-to-parameter ratio = 12.4.The title compound, C 8 H 12 O 7 P 2 ÁCH 4 O, is a monoesterified bisphosphonate (or 1-hydroxymethylene-1,1-bisphosphonic acid). These synthetic compounds are widely used in medicine to inhibit bone resorption in diseases like osteoporosis, and are characterized by a stable P-C-P group and are thus analogs of inorganic… Show more
