Abstract

In the framework of the study of the relationship between crystal packing of solid dyes and their visible reflectance spectra, the crystal structure of 3-methoxy-7H-benz[de]anthracen-7-one (Disperse Yellow 13, C18H12O2) has been determined using a combined set of Bragg–Brentano diffractometer and Guinier–Johannson photographic data with the grid search procedure. Parameters of the orthorhombic cell (P212121, No.19, Z=4) at 295 K are a=15.265(9) Å, b=20.524(9) Å, c=3.990(2) Å. Rietveld refinement gave Rp=0.085, Rb=0.135. The molecules form stacks along [001] with an interplanar spacing of 3.46 Å.
