Professor Liying Yao's research lab specializes in structural chemistry and crystallography, focusing on the determination and analysis of molecular structures through X-ray diffraction. The lab investigates the solid-state packing and intermolecular interactions in organic compounds, particularly emphasizing weak C—H⋯O interactions that influence crystal architecture. Their work often involves the study of molecular conformation and polymorphism, with applications in understanding structure-property relationships in functional organic materials. The lab actively contributes to the Cambridge Structural Database, advancing the global repository of small-molecule crystal structures.

The title compound, C 15 H 16 O 3 , has two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The cyclohex-2-enone ring has an envelope conformation in both molecules. The crystal exhibits twinning. The molecular packing in the crystal structure is determined by weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions.
