Stacks of molecules : Structural properties of a 1:1 cocrystal formed between phenol and pentafluorophenol have been investigated by powder neutron diffraction. There are three crystallographically independent stacks which engage in interstack OH⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds to form a hydrogen‐bonded loop involving six OH groups (see picture). The H atom of each OH group is disordered between two positions, corresponding to two different hydrogen‐bonding arrangements within the loop.
