Title: Polymorphism in p-Hydroxybenzoic Acid: The Effect of Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding in Controlling Proton Order versus Disorder in the Carboxylic Acid Dimer Motif
Abstract:Exploiting synchrotron X-ray microcrystal diffraction techniques has enabled the determination of the crystal structure of a new polymorphic form of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (see picture), the structure ...Exploiting synchrotron X-ray microcrystal diffraction techniques has enabled the determination of the crystal structure of a new polymorphic form of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (see picture), the structure of which contrasts with the previously known polymorphic form. A major structural difference between the two polymorphs concerns order versus disorder of the protons in the carboxylic acid dimer motifs, which is related to the presence or absence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid groups and hydroxyl groups.Read More
