Simulated Crystal Structures

Caption

These are simulated crystal structures of virgin-DEB and T4H-DEB (chemically known as 1,4-distyrylbenzene, a trans-isomer of DEB intermediate product after the capture of first 4 atomic hydrogen with 2 CH bonds on opposing sides of the carbon chain). The top left and top right structures correspond to side view and top view of virgin DEB, respectively. The middle right, bottom right and bottom left structures correspond to side view, top view and a unit cell (side view) of T4H-DEB, respectively.
