Multi odd–even effects on cell parameters, melting points, and optical properties of chiral crystal solids based on S-naproxen

Abstract

A set of chiral crystal solids with odd and even numbers of carbon atoms based on S-naproxen, ester S-naproxen-R₁ (R₁ = H, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, and n-amyl), has been prepared, alternatively crystallizing in the space groups P2₁ and P2₁2₁2₁, respectively, which shows the multi odd–even effects on cell parameters, melting points, and optical properties.
