The crystal and molecular structure of benzoic acid

Abstract: The crystal and molecular structure of benzoic acid (space group P21/c, 4 molecules per unit cell) has been accurately determined from a study of projections of Qo and (0o--Oc) along the a and b axes. The molecules occur as nearly planar, centrosymmetrical dimers, with hydrogen bonds (2.64 A) between the adjacent carboxyl groups. The final difference synthesis reveals the hydrogen atoms clearly. Corrections have been made for temperature-factor variations and thermal anisotropy. The C-C bonds in the benzene ri… Show more

“…The arrangement of the molecules in the unit cell is shown in Figure 2, where broken lines represent hydrogen bonds that connect the molecules of each dimer. As expected, S-butyl thiosalicylic acid crystalizes in the same monoclinic crystal system and P2 1 /c space group as was found for the crystal form of benzoic acid (28). The bond lengths and angles in the title compound are within the expected ranges (Table 3).…”
