3, have been determined. In both compounds, the structure consists of two nearly planar six-membered aromatic rings connected by a propanal chain, which is bent in the methoxy compound and almost straight in the other compound. In the crystal structures, the molecular units of both compounds are linked by O-H
O hydrogen bonds to form infinite one-dimensional chains. Hydrogen bonds and C-H
O contacts in the crystal structures were studied by topological analysis of charge density based on Hartree-Fock calculations. Almost all of the investigated C-H
O contacts should be characterized as weak hydrogen bonds.

Dihydrochalcones (I) and (II) were prepared by hydrogenation of the appropriate chalcones over 10% palladium on activated carbon as a catalyst (Davis & Chen, 1993). The catalyst was added to a solution of 2',4-dihydroxychalcone (2 g) in ethylacetate (5 ml); the mixture was hydrogenated at normal pressure and room temperature for 30 min, after which the catalyst was removed by filtration and the solution was evaporated to dryness, with 98% yield of the crude product (I). A similar procedure was used for the preparation of (II) from 2',4'-dihydroxy-3-O-methylchalcone, where hydrogenation took 60 min and we obtained crude (II) in 89% yield. Colorless crystals of (I) and (II) were prepared by recrystallization from methanol at room temperature under normal pressure.
H atoms attached to C atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å, and with Uiso(H) values equal to 1.2Ueq(C) [1.5Ueq(C) for methyl atoms]. The parameters of H atoms attached to O atoms were refined with the O···H distances restrained to 0.95 (1) Å. The electron density and Laplacian of electron density in BCP were calculated for X-ray geometry with optimized positions of the H atoms. Geometry optimizations by AM1 method and calculations of wavefunctions at basis RHF/6–31G** were performed using the GAUSSIAN98 package (Frisch et al., 1998). Topological analyses based on the theory of Bader et al. (1982a,b) were carried out using the EXTREME program in the AIMPAC program package (Biegler-König et al., 1982).

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Chalcones are the biogenetic precursors of the flavonoids in higher plants. Dihydrochalcones, together with chalcones, are often isolated from various plants (Achenbach et al., 1988; Masaoud et al., 1995; Thuy et al., 1998; Sinz et al., 1999). These compounds display a wide variety of pharmacological effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antimutagenic, antimitotic, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerative and hepatoprotective (Batt et al., 1993; Sogawa et al., 1994; Arty et al. 2000). Since some chalcones inhibit various enzymes involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species (5-lipoxygenase, 12-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase etc.), the majority of their pharmacological properties are supposed to be related to their antioxidative effect (Sogawa et al., 1993; Forejtníková et al., 2005). The biological effects are often connected with electron distribution around the molecule and capability of entering into the intermolecular interactions under formation of supramolecular complexes with biomacromolecules. The crystal structures described here were studied as model systems in the course of theoretical characterization of intermolecular O—H···O and C—H···O interactions.
The structures of 2',4'-dihydroxy-3-methoxydihydrochalcone, (I) (Fig. 1 and Table 1), and 2',4-dihydroxydihydrochalcone, (II) (Fig. 2 and Table 3), are similar to that of 2',4'-dihydroxy-4,6'-dimethoxy-α,β-dihydrochalcone (De Matheus et al., 1991). They consist of two nearly planar six-membered aromaric rings (A and B), with maximum deviations from the A(I), B(I), A(II) and B(II) planes of 0.0056 (15), 0.0085 (15), 0.0089 (13) and 0.0095 (13) Å, respectively. The interplanar angle between rings A and B in (I) is 43.66 (5)°, the interplanar A/B angle in (II) is 67.40 (4). The atoms connected to rings A and B are slightly displaced out of the corresponding planes (the deviations from the planes are summarized in Table 5). Rings A and B are connected by a propanal chain, which is bent in (I) [the C1'–C9–C8–C7 and C9–C8–C7–C1 torsion angles are 100.23 (18) and −168.33 (14)°; see Table 1] and almost straight in (II) [the C1'–C9–C8–C7 and C9–C8–C7–C1 torsion angles are 171.12 (11) and −172.51 (11)°; see Table 3].
In the crystal structures of (I) and (II), the molecules are involved in extensive networks of O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds [Fig. 2 and Table 2 for (I), and Fig. 4 and Table 4 for (II)]. The two shortest intra- and intermolecular O—H···O bonds in (I) [O13···O10 = 2.5499 (16) Å and O14···O10i = 2.7005 (16) Å; symmetry code: (i) 1 + x, 3/2 − y, 1/2 + z] connect molecules into linear chains in the (201) direction; the two shortest bonds in (II) [O13···O10 = 2.5482 (13) Å and O11···O13v = 2.8147 (13) Å; symmetry code: (v) x − 1, y, z − 1] form linear chains in the (101) direction.
In order to characterize individual hydrogen bonds, a topological analysis in the framework of the Bader (2003) `atoms in molecules' (AIM) theory was applied. According to this theory, the bond is characterized by the charge density and the Laplacian of charge density in its bond critical point (BCP). The BCP is extremum at the electron density surface with one positive and two negative eigenvalues of the matrix of second derivatives of ρ(rc). BCPs belonging to the particular intermolecular contact were found and charge density and the Laplacian of the charge density at BCP were calculated as descibed in the Experimental section (Tables 2 and 4). The largest values of NABLA2ρ(rc) were obtained for intramolecular O—H···H hydrogen bonds forming the stable six-membered ring C. Intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds are somewhat weakened. However, all C—H···O contacts summarized in Tables 2 and 4 should be classified as weak hydrogen bonds (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999) because the calculated values of ρ(rc) and NABLA2ρ(rc) fall within the ranges specified in the literature [0.013–0.236 e Å−3 for ρ(rc) and 0.58–3.35 e Å−5 for NABLA2ρ(rc); Koch & Popelier, 1995]. The only exception from the determined set is represented by the C7—H7A···O13 shortened contact, which should be characterized rather by the van der Waals concept. It is evident from this study that C—H motives from aromatic fragments are capable of forming stronger attractive hydrogen bonds than their standard aliphatic counterparts.
In the crystal structure of (I), the molecular packing is such that stacking interactions between rings B of adjacent molecules are optimized (Fig. 2). If CgB is the centroid of ring B and CgBx is that of ring Bx [symmetry code: (x) −x, 1 − y, 1 − z], the CgB···CgBx distance is 3.577 Å and the distance of CgB from the plane through the Bx ring atoms is 3.357 Å.
