Abstract

The title compound, C₁₂H₂₂O₂, is a symmetric diol derived from the pinacol coupling of cyclo-hexa-none. The asymmetric unit contains three complete mol-ecules. The cyclo-hexane moieties adopt chair conformations. Cooperative hydrogen bonding connects the individual mol-ecules to infinite chains propagating along the crystallographic a-axis direction.

Keywords: crystal structure.
