21. The precise determination of the intermolecular distance is possible due to the appearance of a Moiré pattern along the lamellar axis. The intermolecular distance was determined from a number of larger scale STM images which exhibit a pronounced Moiré pattern. Examination of 28 crystal structures of noncyclic urea compounds deposited in the Cambridge Crystallographic Database revealed that the average distance between two successive hydrogen-bonded urea groups in 0.46 nm.
