Abstract:
The title compound, C9H7NO3, crystallizes in the monoclinic (P21) space group. In the crystal, the almost planar mol-ecules display a flattened herringbone arrangement. Stacking mol-ecules are slipped in the lengthwise and widthwise directions and are linked by π-π inter-actions [d(Cg⋯Cg = 3.6640 (11) Å]. The structure is characterized by strong C-H⋯N and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and further stabilized by C-O⋯π inter-actions.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
