Abstract
Experimental deformation densities for the title compound are compared with a smeared theoretical deformation density based on ab initio quantumchemical
calculations for a model compound (9,5,1/5,2 GTO basis set). Around the C-C bonds in the ethylene plane very good agreement with theory is obtained for the experimental D(HO,r) map. This map is based on high-order parameters of a conventional X-ray refinement, but witli scale and overall thermal motion adjusted to full-angle data. Around the O atoms where D(HO,r) is not reliable, the theoretical map is compared with a multipole map not including monopole
deformations and based on a multipole refinement with scattering factors. The multipole map clearly shows the influence of the hydrogen bonds on the deformation density.
