Indole-3-carboxylic acid

G. Smith, U. D. Wermuth and P. C. Healy

Abstract: The crystal structure of indole-3-carboxylic acid, C9H7NO2, shows the presence of centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic carboxylic acid dimers [O...O = 2.649  (2)  Å]. These dimers are linked into a sheet structure through peripheral intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid groups and the hetero-amine group of the n-glide-related indole ring [O...N = 3.013  (2)  Å].
