Abstract

Abstract A qualitative study has been carried out on selected polycyclitols to evaluate the potential of conformational locking of hydroxy groups in lending predictability to the O–H··· O hydrogen-bonding network observed in the crystal structures of such compounds. The polycyclitols employed in this study are conformationally locked with all the hydroxy groups destined to be axial owing to the trans ring fusion (s) in the polycyclic carbon framework. ...
