Abstract

Diffraction patterns were recorded, and unit cell dimensions refined by the least-squares method, for lactitol and lactitol monohydrate. Refined unit cell parameters for lactitol are: a =7.622(1) Å, b = 10.764(2) Å, c = 9.375(1) Å, β= 108.25(1)° in space group P21, and those for lactitol monohydrate a =7.844(1) Å, b = 12.673(2) Å, c = 15.942(2) Å in space group P212121.
