Figure 6.
Fig. 6. Close-packed layers of the mumps P NBD formed within the crystal. (a) Schematic ribbon diagram showing the packing arrangement of molecules in the xy-plane of the crystal. The two molecules within the asymmetric unit are shown in light blue. Symmetry-equivalent molecules are shown in gray. For clarity, only a single molecular layer is shown. As depicted, the noncrystallographic twofold rotation axis lies parallel with the crystallographic z-axis. (b) A molecular (Connolly) surface representation of the region shown in (a) calculated using the program PyMOL.
