The statistical analysis of hydrogen-bond interactions formed by oximes and carboxylic acids has been performed. Ab initio quantum-chemical calculations have been used to rationalize the observed preference for the oxime-carboxyl interaction compared with homologous binding (carboxyl-carboxyl and oxime-oxime). The crystal packing observed in the structure of pyruvic acid oxime (hydroxyiminopyruvic acid) has been explained as the consequence of a combination of the energetically optimal structure of the isolated molecule and the optimal interaction of monomers forming a dimer.
