cis-1,2-Dimethylcyclobutane-1,2-diol, C6H12O2, crystallizes with five molecules in the asymmetric unit. Of these, two molecules are the building blocks of columns with a complex hydrogen-bonding pattern in their hydrophilic core. The walls of the columns are formed by the lipophilic parts of the molecules. The remaining three molecules of the asymmetric unit build columns with a less complex hydrogen-bonding system. In terms of co-operativity, the most significant feature is the formation of homodromic rings of six hydroxy functions.

The title compound was prepared according to a published procedure (Corey et
al., 1976) upon pinacolic coupling of hexane-2,5-dione by means of
amalgamated magnesium fillings and titanium tetrachloride in tetrahydrofuran.
After an aqueous alkaline workup, extraction with diethyl ether and subsequent
distillation yielded the desired product, which had already crystallized in
the cooler of the distillation head (m.p. 290 K). Crystals suitable for X-ray
analysis were obtained directly from the crystallized reaction product.
The C-bonded H atoms were refined as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H
distances of 0.98 (methyl) or 0.99 Å (methylene) and with Uiso(H)
values of 1.5Ueq(C) for the methyl groups and 1.2Ueq(C) for
the methylene groups. The O-bonded H atoms were located in a difference map,
and then their positions were optimized geometrically and refined as riding on
their parent atoms by using the electron-density-related AFIX 147 instruction
of SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008) [O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) =
1.5Ueq(O)]. The population parameter of the major disordered
component in one of the five molecules refined to 0.639 (5), where the sum of
the population parameters of the major and minor disordered components was
constrained to unity. The C—C distances of the minor disordered component
were tied to the corresponding values of the major form by a similarity
restraint (the SADI instruction of SHELXL97 with sigma = 0.01).

On crystallization, the polar (hydrophilic) and the apolar (lipophilic) parts of amphiphilic molecules usually segregate into polar and apolar building blocks of the crystal structure, respectively. If the polar and the apolar parts occupy volume fractions of different sizes, only the larger part normally establishes intermolecular contacts in all three dimensions, whereas the smaller part may be restricted to intermolecular contacts in zero (pairs of molecules, clusters) or one dimension (chains, columns).
The diols are a particularly widespread class of compounds which illustrate this principle since, owing to the variety of residues that may be attached to the diol function, the size ratios between the polar and the apolar parts may span an extended range. Moreover, the diols have attracted our interest as they are the parent acids of potentially chelating ligands. Examples of structurally characterized diols which are representative examples in terms of the size ratio between the polar and apolar molecular parts include 1,2-dicyclopentylethane-1,2-diol (Betz et al., 2007) and bi-1,1'-cycloheptyl-1,1'-diol (Betz & Klüfers, 2007), in both of which the diol functions are assembled in hydrogen-bonded chains, and cis- and rac-trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol (Sillanpää et al., 1984) which exhibit hydrogen-bonded layers. Finite hydrogen-bonding patterns have been found with pinacol, for example, namely eight-membered homodromic rings in tetramers of the diol (Jeffrey & Robbins, 1978).
In the title compound, (I), the apolar part fills, to a similar extent as in pinacol, the major part of the crystal's volume and restricts the polar part to the core of columns with an apolar shell. What makes (I) remarkable is the complexity with which the molecules assemble into the crystal structure; no less than five molecules are found in the asymmetric unit, one of them exhibiting disorder in the apolar part. Fig. 1 shows two of the five independent molecules, while Fig. 2 shows the remaining three molecules. A common feature of all the molecules is the slightly twisted cyclobutane ring, which, together with the methyl substituents, imparts a certain degree of rigidity to the molecules such that the diol torsion angles of all five molecules are within 4° of 30°. One molecule exhibits disorder of the ethylene unit of the cyclobutane ring and of the two methyl substituents (Fig. 3). It should be noted that the two disordered forms are connected by a 180° rotation, which leaves the orientation of the diol function unaltered, so that both disordered forms are compatible with the hydrogen-bonding pattern.
The dimer and the trimer of diols depicted in Figs. 1 and 2 are the building blocks of two different kinds of hydrogen-bonded columns, termed d2 and d3, respectively. Although built by the more complex asymmetric building block, the core of the d3 column has a simpler construction principle in terms of cooperativity; isolated homodromic rings made up of six symmetry-independent hydroxy functions are linked by a diol dimer (Fig. 4). Hence, although the core of a column provides an infinite stack of approximately equidistant hydroxy groups, their O—H vectors do not combine to form an infinite cooperative hydrogen-bonded system. Specifically, infinite cooperativity via intra-diol hydrogen bonding, as found in the related bicycloheptyldiol structure (Betz & Klüfers, 2007), is only weakly, if at all, exhibited both in the d3 as well as in the d2 strands (cf. the last three entries in Table 1).
The core of the d2 columns shows a closely related, but more complex, hydrogen-bonding pattern (Fig. 5). Similar homodromic rings of another six hydroxy functions are again aligned by diol links, but two more hydroxy donors, which bind to two acceptor sites at opposite ring positions, complete the pattern.
For the hydrogen bonds observed in the two different columns, graph-set analysis (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995) was applied. Each column was analyzed separately because the d2 and d3 columns have no linking hydrogen bonds.
The hydrogen bonds in the more basic d3 column are not crystallographically equivalent, so on the unitary graph level the pattern should be assigned a DDDDDD descriptor. As depicted in Fig. 4, on the binary graph level the descriptor converts to two C22(7) chains connected by an R22(10) ring. Finally, an R66(12) [R33(9) R33(9)] six-level graph set (N6) [on the ternary level two R33(9) rings are found] fits the homodromic rings mentioned above made up of six hydroxy functions. In conclusion, the most important description seems to be that of the second-level graph set, as the unitary graph set provides only finite motifs and the higher levels can be assembled by the patterns of the second level.
The graph-set analysis of the d2 column results in an R22(10)DDD descriptor on the unitary graph level. On the binary graph level the pattern can be depicted by two C22(7) chains with opposite cooperativity connected by an R42(14) ring (Fig. 5). Finally, on the ternary graph level the homodromic rings mentioned above are found, to which the R66(12) descriptor can be assigned.
The entire crystal structure is assembled by a pseudohexagonal stacking of both the d2– and the d3-type [100] columns in the bc plane (Fig. 6).
