2,2′-[Biphenyl-2,2′-diylbis(oxy)]diacetic acid monohydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C16H14O6·H2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 60.8 (3)°. Mol­ecules are linked through a bifurcated O—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a zigzag chain along the b axis. The chains are further linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds mediated by water mol­ecules.
