Abstract

Commercial fluorometholone, CAS #426-13-1, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 (#4) with a = 6.40648(2), b = 13.43260(5), c = 11.00060(8) Å, β = 92.8203(5)°, V = 945.517(5) Å3, and Z = 2. A reduced cell search in the Cambridge Structural Database yielded one previous structure determination, using single-crystal data at 292 K. In this work, the sample was ordered from the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (Lot # R032K0) and analyzed as-received. The room temperature (295 K) crystal structure was refined using synchrotron (λ = 0.412826 Å) powder diffraction data and optimized using density functional theory (DFT) techniques. Hydrogen positions were included as a part of the structure and were re-calculated during the refinement. The diffraction data were collected on beamline 11-BM at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, and the powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the compound has been submitted to ICDD® for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™. The agreement of the Rietveld-refined and DFT-optimized structures is excellent; the root-mean-square Cartesian displacement is 0.060 Å. In addition to the O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds observed by Park et al. (Park, Y. J., Lee, M. Y., and Cho, S. I. (1992). “Fluorometholone,” J. Korean Chem. Soc. 36, 812–817), C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds contribute to the crystal energy.
