We report the ab initio structure solution of rubidiumsalicylate C 7 H 5 O 3 Rb and the crystal packing of potassium-salicylate C 7 H 5 O 3 K by high resolution X-ray powder diffraction. The compounds are of interest for the understanding of the mechanism of Kolbe-Schmitt type reactions. C 7 H 5 O 3 Rb (I) crystallizes in space group P2 1 /n, Zϭ 4, with unit cell parameters a ϭ 7.2110(1) Å , b ϭ 26.5258(3) Å , c ϭ 4.23110(6) Å , β ϭ 106.843(1)°, and V ϭ 774.60(2) Å 3 . C 7 H 5 O 3 K (II) crystallizes in space group P1, Z ϭ 2, with unit cell parameters a ϭ 7.3575 (2), b ϭ 13.6399(3), c ϭ 3.8622(1) Å , α ϭ 95.955(4)°, β ϭ 103.326(2)°, γ ϭ 92.994(4)°, and V ϭ 373.95(2) Å 3 . Both compounds exhibit similar crystal packing
