Abstract

The reaction of pentaerythritol and tetraethylorthocarbonate at 260 °C for 12 h yields a white crystalline material that was characterized by 13C CPMAS NMR, CHN analysis, FT-IR, electron and X-ray powder diffraction, and Rietveld analysis. The white crystalline material was found to have the formula C6H8O4 and a crystal structure with a monoclinic cell [a = 9.167 Å, b = 5.681 Å, c = 5.880 Å, β = 90.0°, space group I2] of hexagonally arranged spiro-oligomeric chains.
