Abstrakt

The structures of the simplest symmetric primary ethers [(C n H2n+1)2O, n = 1-3] determined under high pressure revealed their conformational preferences and intermolecular interactions. In three new polymorphs of di­ethyl ether (C2H5)2O, high pressure promotes intermolecular CH⋯O contacts and enforces a conversion from the trans-trans conformer present in the α, β and γ phases to the trans-gauche conformer, which is higher in energy by 6.4 kJ mol-1, in the δ phase. Two new polymorphs of di­methyl ether (CH3)2O display analogous transformations of the CH⋯O bonds. The crystal structure of di-n-propyl ether (C3H7)2O, determined for the first time, is remarkably stable over the whole pressure range investigated from 1.70 up to 5.30 GPa.
