Abstract

The title compound, C9H8O4, (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/c with unit cell parameters a = 7.3380(5) angstrom, b = 9.3790(7) angstrom, c = 12.3172(9) angstrom, beta = 90.687(7)degrees, Z = 4. The molecule consists of a benzene ring fused to a 1,4 dioxane ring in a half-chair conformation with a carboxylic acid group bonded at the dioxane 2-position. The carboxylic acid group forms a classic O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonded dimer with an O center dot center dot center dot O distance of 2.6292(12) angstrom in a R-2(2) (8) graph-set motif which links the molecules into pairs around inversion centers in a supramolecular assembly in the unit cell. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the R-2(2) (8) graph-set motif's of two adjacent dimers in the unit cell is 75.7(5)degrees. The mean plane of an R-2(2) (8) graph-set motif makes an angle of 88.4(5)degrees with the mean plane of the benzene ring in the same dimer and 13.1(2)degrees or 13.4(7)degrees with the mean plane of a benzene ring from an adjacent dimer. Additional weak Cg pi-ring intermolecular interactions significantly influence the bond distances, bond angles and torsion angles of the dioxane ring and attached carboxyl group. Comparison to a MOPAC AM1computational calculation provides support to these observations.
