Figure 2
Parts of the crystal structures of bix·2H2O in (a) polymorph (II) and (b) and polymorph (I), showing the formation of the R44(8) and (106) hydrogen-bond rings in (II) and the one-dimensional water chain running parallel to the [100] direction in (I). Hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines. The minor components of the disordered water molecules in (II) have been omitted for clarity. |
