Abstract
The biologically transformed product of estradiol valerate, namely 3,7α-dihydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one monohydrate, C18H22O3·H2O, has been investigated using UV-Vis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques, as well as by mass spectrometric analysis. Its crystal structure was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction based on data collected at 100 K. The structure was refined using the independent atom model (IAM) and the transferred electron-density parameters from the ELMAM2 database. The structure is stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. The topology of the hydrogen bonds has been analyzed by the Bader theory of `Atoms in Molecules' framework. The molecular electrostatic potential for the transferred multipolar atom model reveals an asymmetric character of the charge distribution across the molecule due to a substantial charge delocalization within the molecule. The molecular dipole moment was also calculated, which shows that the molecule has a strongly polar character.
