Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic with a=5.4084(5), b=5.2240(7), c=22.986(4) Å, β=94.69(3)°, space group P21/c, Z=4, V=647.27(16) Å3, dc=1.58Mg m-3, The acid crystallizes as hydrogen bonded carboxylic dimers which pack to generate a herringbone motif of the type typically encountered in polycyclic aromatic compounds. © 1994 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
