Redetermination of 3-methyl-benzoic acid.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(8)O(2), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules, which form dimers linked by O?H-O hydrogen bonds. The benzene rings in the dimers are inclined at a dihedral angle of 7.30?(8)° and both methyl groups display rotational disorder. This redetermination results in a crystal structure with significantly higher precision than the original determination [Ellas & García-Blanco (1963 ?). Acta Cryst. 16, 434], in which the authors reported only the unit-cell parameters and space group, without any detailed information on the atomic arrangement. In the crystal, dimers are connected by weak C-H?O inter-actions, forming R(2) (2)(10) and R(4) (4)(18) rings along [110] and an infinite zigzag chain of dimers along the [001] direction also occurs.

A redetermination of 2-nitro-benzoic acid.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, C(7)H(5)NO(4), was first reported by Kurahashi, Fukuyo & Shimada [(1967). Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 40, 1296]. It has been re-examined, improving the precision of the derived geometric parameters. The asymmetric unit comprises a non-planar independent mol-ecule, as the nitro and the carb-oxy substituents force each other to be twisted away from the plane of the aromatic ring by 54.9 (2) and 24.0 (2)°, respectively. The mol-ecules form a conventional dimeric unit via centrosymmetric inter-molecular hydrogen bonds.

Redetermination of 2,6-dimethoxy-benzoic acid.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, C(9)H(10)O(4), was first reported by Swaminathan, Vimala & Lotter [Acta Cryst. (1976), B32, 1897-1900]. It has been re-examined, improving the precision of the derived geometric parameters. The asymmetric unit comprises a non-planar independent mol-ecule, as the meth-oxy substituents force the carb-oxy group to be twisted away from the plane of the aromatic ring by 56.12?(9)°. Due to the anti-planar conformation adopted by the OH group, the mol-ecular components do not form the conventional dimeric units, but are associated in the crystal in chains stabilized by linear O-H?O hydrogen bonds, involving the OH groups and the carbonyl O atoms, which form C(3) motifs.

4-Amino-benzoic acid 4-methyl-pyridine/4-methyl-pyridinium 4-amino-benzoate 0.58/0.42: a redetermination from the original data.

Project description:The title structure, 4-amino-benzoic acid 4-methyl-pyridine/4-methyl-pyridinium 4-amino-benzoate 0.58/0.42, 0.58(C6H7N·C7H7NO2)·0.42(C6H8N+·C7H6NO2-), has been redetermined from the data published by Kumar et al. (2015 ▸). Acta Cryst. E71, o125-o126. The improvement of the present redetermination consists in the introduction of disorder of the methyl group over two positions as well as in the correction of the positional parameters of the hydrogen atoms that are involved in the O-H⋯N or N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. After the correction, the hydroxyl hydrogen atom turned out to be disordered over two positions about the centre of the O⋯N bond, which is relatively long [2.642 (2) Å], while the H atoms of the primary amine group account more realistically for the hydrogen-bond pattern after the removal of the positional constraints. All the O-H⋯N or N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds which are present in the title structure are of moderate strength.

4-(Methyl-amino)benzoic acid.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(9)NO(2), contains three crystallographically independent mol-ecules, which are essentially planar, the carboxyl O atoms deviating by 0.091?(3), 0.101?(2) and 0.164?(3)?Å from the mean plane through the non-H atoms. In the crystal, all three mol-ecules form O-H?O hydrogen-bonded about inversion centers, forming eight-membered rings with graph-set notation R(2) (2)(8). In addition, N-H?O hydrogen bonding and C-H?? inter-actions reinforce the packing.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(15)NO(3), inter-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the b axis and pairs of inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds between inversion-related carb-oxy-lic acid groups link the mol-ecules into dimers. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.4?(2)°.

Crystal structure of 2-bromo-benzoic acid at 120?K: a redetermination.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, C7H5BrO2, was originally studied using photographic data at room temperature with Cu K? radiation [Ferguson & Sim (1962 ?). Acta Cryst. 15, 346-350]. The present study was undertaken at 120?K with a CCD diffractometer using Cu K? radiation, and resulted in improved geometrical parameters. In the mol-ecule, the carb-oxy group is inclined to the benzene ring by 18.7?(2)° and there is a close intra-molecular Br?O contact of 3.009?(3)?Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of O-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with the classical R 2 (2)(8) ring motif for carb-oxy-lic acids. Neighbouring dimers are linked by weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming tapes propagating in [1-10]. Adjacent tapes inter-act by slipped parallel ?-? inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.991?(2), inter-planar distance = 3.509?(2)?Å, slippage = 1.900?Å] to form columns approximately along the b-axis direction. Neighbouring columns inter-act dispersively, forming a three-dimensional framework structure.

2-Methyl-3,5-dinitro-benzoic acid.

Project description:In the title compound, C(8)H(6)N(2)O(6), the O atoms of the nitro groups, the methyl H atoms and the carboxyl C=O and C-OH groups are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.595?(16):0.405?(16). In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H?O hydrogen bonds arise for both carboxyl disorder components and C-H?O bonds and weak C-H?? inter-actions consolidate the packing.

2-Methyl-amino-5-nitro-benzoic acid.

Project description:The title compound, C(8)H(8)N(2)O(4), is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.037?Å) and an intra-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H?O hydrogen bonds generate R(2) (2)(8) loops. Inter-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds (involving the same H atom that forms the intra-molecular hydrogen bond) link the dimers into infinite sheets lying parallel to (102).

2-Methyl-sulfonyl-4-(trifluoro-meth-yl)benzoic acid.

In the crystal, O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [201]. Weak C-H?O inter-actions further link these chains into layers parallel to the ac plane.
