Abstract

The crystal structure of methylprednisolone acetate form II, C24H32O6, has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Methylprednisolone acetate crystallizes in space group P212121 (#19) with a = 8.17608(2), b = 9.67944(3), c = 26.35176(6) Å, V = 2085.474(6) Å3, and Z = 4. Both hydroxyl groups act as hydrogen bond donors, resulting in a two-dimensional hydrogen bond network in the ab plane. C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds also contribute to the crystal energy. The powder pattern is included in the Powder Diffraction File™ as entry 00-065-1412.
