The visual data of Vaughan & Donohue (1952) for urea have been used in a three-dimensional least-squares refinement of the positional and thermal parameters. The results are in excellent agreement with the partial refinement of Sklar, Senko & Post (1961) of their zonal spectrometer data.The results include the following bond lengths, corrected for libration: C-O = 1-276 +_ 8 and C-N 1.356 + 7 A; thermal vibration ellipsoids and the components of the T and co tensors in a rigid-body analysis are also presented: the r.m.s, libration of the molecule about its twofold axis is 13 °.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
