Abstract
Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the commercial phase of L-arabinitol were recorded with a laboratory diffractometer. The starting structural model was found by a Monte-Carlo simulated annealing method. The final structure was obtained through Rietveld refinements with soft restraints on the interatomic bond lengths and bond angles. H atoms of hydroxyl groups were localized by minimization of the crystalline energy. The cell is triclinic with the space group P1 and contains two molecules. The crystalline cohesion is achieved by an important network of O-H···O hydrogen bonds.
