In the title compound {systematic name: 2-[(3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-yl)oxy]acetic acid}, the herbicide triclopyr, C7H4Cl3NO3, the comprises two independent molecules in which the dihedral angles between the mean plane of the carboxylic acid group and the pyridyl ring plane are 79.3 (6) and 83.8 (5)°. In the crystal, pairs of intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form dimers through an R22(8) ring motif and are extended into chains along [100] by weak π–π interactions [ring centroid separations = 3.799 (4) and 3.810 (4) Å]. In addition, short intermolecular Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.458 (2) Å] connect the chains, yielding a two-dimensional architecture extending parallel to (020). The crystal studied was found to be non-merohedrally twinned with the minor component being 0.175 (4).
Keywords: crystal structure; herbicide; triclopyr; hydrogen-bonded dimers; π–π interactions; non-merohedral twinning.

The title compound was purchased from the Dr. Ehrenstorfer GmbH Company. Slow evaporation of a solution in CHCl3 gave single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic C—H, d(C—H) = 0.99 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for Csp3—H, and d(O—H) = 0.84 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for O—H groups. Non-merohedral
in the crystal was identified [TwinRotMat within PLATON (Spek, 2009)]: [twin law -1 0 0, 0 -1 0, 0.751 0 1] giving a final refined BASF parameter of 0.175 (4).Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Triclopyr, C7H4Cl3NO3, is a herbicide used extensively in the control of woody plants and broadleaf weeds (McMullin et al., 2011; Carney et al., 2007), and its crystal structure is reported herein. In this compound (Scheme 1, Fig. 1). The asymmetric unit is composed of two independent molecules (Molecule A and Molecule B). The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the carboxyl groups and the pyridyl ring systems are 79.3 (6)° and 83.8 (5)° for Molecule A and Molecule B, respectively. All bond lengths and bond angles are normal and comparable to those observed in the crystal structure of a similar compound (Smith et al., 1976).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), two carboxylic acid O—H···O hydrogen bonds are observed (Table 1), forming dimers through an R22(8) ring motif. In addition, weak intermolecular π–π interactions between the pyridyl ring systems [Cg1···Cg2i, 3.799 (4) Å and Cg2···Cg1ii, 3.810 (4) Å], link the dimers into one-dimensional chains extending along (100) (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centeroids of the N1···C5 and N2···C12 rings, respectively). In addition, a short Cl···Cl contact [Cl1···Cl1iii, 3.458 (2) Å] is present [for symmetry codes: (i), -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1, (ii), -x + 2, -y+ + 1, -z + 1, and (iii), -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 2]. The crystal studied was found to be affected by non-merohedral twinning (Spek, 2009) and the data was treated accordingly, giving a final refined BASF parameter of 0.175 (4).
