Thermal and crystallographic characteristics of synthesized xanthen-3-one derivatives
Series of synthesized xanthen-3-one derivatives were analyzed for thermal characteristics by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), as well as for crystallinity using X-ray powder diffraction. Xanthen-3-one derivatives are prepared according to the well known procedure which includes two-fold Friedel-Crafts alkylation. The aim of this research was to determine purity and crystallinity of synthesized xanthen-3-one derivatives. Thermograms of synthesized compounds showed that compounds have purity above 98%, while crystallographic analysis of powder showed that the compounds have a 10-30% crystalline form.
