Determination of the electron density in methyl (±)-(1S,2S,3R)-2-methyl-1,3-di­phenyl­cyclo­propane­carboxyl­ate using refinements with X-ray scattering factors from wavefunction calculations of the whole mol­ecule

The electron density in the title substituted cyclo­propane has been determined by refining single-crystal X-ray data using scattering factors derived from quantum mechanical calculations. Topological analysis of the electron densities in the three cyclo­propane C-C bonds was carried out and shows the effects of substitution on these C-C bonds.
