Title: Hydrogen-Bonding Patterns in a Centrosymmetric Structure with<i>Z</i>' = 2: α,α',α''-Trimethyl-1,3,5-benzenetrimethanol
Abstract: The title molecule, C12H18O3, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule donates three, and accepts three, hydrogen bonds. The Od⋯Oa distances in these bonds range from 2.687 (3) to 2.787 (2) Å. The hydroxyl H atoms are ordered. A three-dimensional network of hydrogen-bond chains is formed which is `decorated' with sets of cyclic hydrogen bonds and numerous finite hydrogen-bond patterns. This structure shows both similarities and differences with respect to the structures of the related molecules benzene-1,3,5-triacetic acid and benzene-1,3,5-trimethanol.
