The Hydrogen Atoms in Alpha-Resorcinol
As the first example of the location of hydrogen atoms in aromatic molecules by single-crystal neutron diffraction methods, we have studied α-resorcinol, C 6 H 4 (OH) 2 . This substance was examined with X-rays in 1936 by Robertson 1 , who located the carbon and oxygen atoms in the structure, conclu...
