2,5‐O‐Methyl­ene‐d‐mannitol: two polymorphs and the NaI complex

Two polymorphs of the title compound, (4R,5R,6R,7R)‐4,7‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)‐1,3‐dioxepane‐5,6‐diol, C₇H₁₄O₆, both have Z′ = 2 at 100 K, and differ in their hydrogen‐bonding patterns. The sodium iodide complex, NaI·C₇H₁₄O₆, is isomorphous with the NaCl complex, and has the mannitol, cation and anion all lying on twofold axes. The dioxepane rings of all three mol­ecules are in the twist‐chair conformation.
