Optimum resolution data of X-ray powder diffraction for 7-amino desacetoxy cephalosporanic acid(7-ADCA) were collected from an X ′ Pert Pro MPD diffractometer with the setup of 0.01°/s and 0.01° per step. Indexing to the crystal system and searching space group from the diffraction data were conducted by means of the computational crystallography method. The pilot crystal models of 7-ADCA were then refined by Rietveld method to obtain the exact three-dimensional structure. The results show that the crystal structure of 7-ADCA is monoclinic, space group P2 1 with unit cell dimensions a=13.50 Å, b=6.01 Å, c =5.91 Å, α= γ =90.00°, β =101.96°, Z=2and V =469.10 Å 3 . The fraction coordinate of each atom in the unit cell is well located and reported.
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.
