Abstract
The crystal structure of trans-4-(trifluoromethyl) cinnamic acid (1) has been determined in the triclinic space groupP. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that 1 undergoes a single fully reversible temperature induced phase transition at around 132/131 K (cooling/heating). Single crystal structure determinations, carried out at 200, 145 and 120 K, revealed that the volume of the unit cell quadruples as the crystal is cooled through the phase transition with Z′ increasing from 2 to 8. The structures are stabilised by the presence of O–H⋯O hydrogen bonding and C–H⋯O interactions. The results of DSC, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies on 1 are reported.
The crystal structure of trans-4-(trifluoromethyl) cinnamic acid reveals a single fully reversible temperature-induced phase transition at 132/131 K, with the volume of the unit cell quadrupling as it cools through the transition.
