Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic witha=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.
