The X-ray analysis of (6R,7aS)-6-(tert-butyl-dimethylsilanyloxy)-1-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydropyrrolizin-3-one, C19H27NO3Si, revealed a diffraction pattern which is typical for modulated structures: strong Bragg peaks surrounded by weaker reflections which cannot be indexed with the same three reciprocal lattice vectors that are used to describe the strong peaks. For this class of crystal structures the concept of superspace has been developed which, however, for many crystallographers still constitutes a Gordian Knot. As a possible tool to cut this knot the crystal structure of the above-mentioned tetrahydropyrrolizinone derivative is presented as an illustrative example for handling and describing the modulated structure of a typical pharmaceutical (i.e. molecular) compound. Having established a working knowledge of the concepts and terminology of the superspace approach a concise and detailed description of the complete process of peak indexing, data processing, structure solution and structure interpretation is presented for the incommensurately modulated crystal structure of the above-mentioned compound. The superspace symmetry applied is P21(α0γ)0; the (incommensurate) q vector components at 100 K are α = 0.1422 (2) and γ = 0.3839 (8).

Pyrene : p -benzoquinone (C 16 H 10 :C 6 H 4 O 2 ) crystallizes in the tetragonal system, with cell constants a = 7.698(2), c = 25.570(5) Å, space group P 4 1 and four formula units per unit cell. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to an R value of 0.048 for 778 observed reflexions. The pyrene and p -benzoquinone molecules are arranged alternately in mixed stacks, with interplanar spacing of 3.49 Å and an angle of 1.1° between molecular planes. The mixed stacks are arranged in sheets parallel to (001), successive sheets being related by the 4 1 axis. This type of arrangement of mixed stacks has not been encountered previously among π -molecular compounds. Neither the stacks nor their arrangement are centrosymmetric; as the component molecules are both centrosymmetric this constitutes a second unusual feature of this crystal structure.
