Paracetamol [also known as acet­amino­phen or N-(4-hydroxy­phenyl)­acet­amide] is an important analgesic drug that has recently been cocrystallized with a series of cyclic N- and O-donor compounds. This paper describes the formation of a paracetamol adduct with morpholine, viz. paracetamol-morpholine (1/2.5), C8H9NO2·2.5C4H9NO. There are five morpholine mol­ecules and two paracetamol mol­ecules in the unit cell. The paracetamol mol­ecules are held together by hydrogen bonding via morpholine mol­ecules, one of which is disordered about an inversion centre.

ABSTM_02 When printed, the submitted absorption T values will be replaced by the scaled T values. Since the ratio of scaled T's is identical to the ratio of reported T values, the scaling does not imply a change to the absorption corrections used in the study.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

The data were collected on a four-circle using Cu-kα radiation. Certain regions of reciprocal space above 2θ=90° were shaded by the chi- circle, and this has resulted in a low -diffrn-measured-fraction-theta-max.
