The discovery of X-ray was first reported in 1895 and in 1915 its
diffraction by örystals was also discovered by a number of workers
including Bragg^ and Laue^ . The use of this property of X-ray to
4
determine the struoture of some simple crystals was reported the
same year. This property has become a powerful tool in modern Science
particularly in the.fields of Physics, Chemistry, Metallurgy and
Mineralogy. It has provided an easy approach to the study of the norphology
of crystals and has led to methods of finding the locations of the
atoms in the unit cell of the crystal of any compound«
The determination of the atomic positions leads to a detailed
knowledge of the geometry of the nolecule, the spatial distribution of
the atoms and Information such as bond distances and angles and the
forces (intra-molecular and intemolecular) that may be inferred from
the spatial distribution of the atoms in the crystal,
The X-ray crystallographic method was applied to mostly inorganic
structures at the early stages of its development. Recently the
application to organic chemistry has become pronounced and it has been
used to elucidate the structure of many complex organic substances such
as haemoglobin and vitamin * •
In this worlc an attempt is made to determine the structure of two
vrood extractives: Cedrela Odorata Substance B and Turraeanthin.
