(RS)-Phenylsuccinic acid

A. Fischer and V. M. Profir

Abstract: (RS)-Phenylsuccinic acid, C10H10O4, crystallizes with two molecules of the acid in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, the carboxyl groups of each acid molecule are connected to those of adjacent molecules via hydrogen bonds; each molecule is connected to two other molecules, forming chains. Crystals of (RS)-phenylsuccinic acid are twinned. Data for one twin domain could be obtained and the structure could be solved with satisfactory results.
