Albuterol sulfate (marketed as ProAir HFA or Ventolin HFA) is an important pharmaceutical used for the treatment of asthma. Commercial albuterol sulfate crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc (9), with a = 28.0698(1) Å, b = 6.18638(3) Å, c = 16.92605(5) Å, α = 90°, β = 81.1328(3)°, γ = 90°, V = 2904.097(19) Å3, and Z = 4. Previous structure determination did not include hydrogens (Leger et al., Reference Leger, Goursolle, Gadret and Carpy1978). In this work, the sample was ordered from Sigma-Aldrich. The structure was solved and refined using synchrotron (λ = 0.413914 Å) powder diffraction data, and Rietveld and density functional techniques. Figure 1 shows the Powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the compound.
