[1,1′-Bicyclohexane]-1,1′-diol

“…To allow for comparisons of metrical parameters of the title compound in envisioned coordination compounds, the crystal and molecular structure of the free ligand was determined. The crystal structures of the related pinacols derived from cyclopentanone (Hosten & Betz, 2021), cycloheptanone (Betz & Klu ¨fers, 2007) and cyclododecanone (Yang et al, 2016) are apparent in the literature. Structural data of symmetric pinacols derived from methyl-substituted (Bruss et al, 1987) and phenyl-substituted cyclohexanones (Nieger et al, 2004) have been reported.…”
