2-Cyclopentyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid, a pseudosymmetric crystal structure with space group Pna2₁ and Z' = 2

J. W. Bats, M. Walter and C. R. Noe

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₆O₃, crystallizes in space group Pna2₁ with Z = 8. The two independent molecules are related by pseudosymmetry elements. The structure can be derived from the higher symmetric space group Pnam by translating the x coordinates of molecule 2 by -1/4 with respect to those of molecule 1.
