Crystal structure of donepezil hydrochloride form III, C24H29NO3⋅HCl
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 July 2021
Abstract
The crystal structure of donepezil hydrochloride, form III, has been solved with FOX using laboratory powder diffraction data previously submitted to and published in the Powder Diffraction File. Rietveld refinement with GSAS yielded monoclinic lattice parameters of a = 14.3662(9) Å, b = 11.8384(6) Å, c = 13.5572(7) Å, and β = 107.7560(26)° (C24H30ClNO3, Z = 4, space group P21/c). The Rietveld-refined structure was compared to a density functional theory (DFT)-optimized structure, and the structures exhibit excellent agreement. Layers of donepezil molecules parallel to the (101) planes are maintained by columns of chloride anions along the b-axis, where each chloride anion hydrogen bonds to three donepezil molecules each.
