X-ray powder diffraction data for the mineral refikite

Abstract

X-ray powder diffraction data, unit-cell parameters and space group for a rare natural organic mineral refikite, C 20 H 32 O 2 , abiet-13(15)-en-18-oic acid, are reported [a = 22.55(2) Å, b = 10.469(6) Å, c = 7.930(9) Å, unit-cell volume V = 1871.82 Å 3 , Z = 4 and space group P2 1 2 1 2]. All measured lines were indexed and are consistent with the P2 1 2 1 2 space group. No detectable impurities were observed.
