Supramolecular structures of 2-chloro-5-methylphenol and 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (chlorocresol)

P. J. Cox

Abstract: The crystal structures of the title compounds (both C₇H₇ClO) are characterized by two independent molecules in each of the asymmetric units and feature O-HO, C-H [bold pi] and - interactions. In addition, intermolecular C-HCl and intramolecular O-HCl interactions are present in 2-chloro-5-methylphenol. For each crystal, the non-covalent interactions emphasize the different spatial environments for the two independent molecules.

Formula: Two isomers of C₇H₇ClO
