organic compounds
4-(2-Naphthyl)butanoic acid, C14H14O2, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/a. The single type of hydrogen bond forms cyclic dimers about inversion centers. The carboxylic O atoms are ordered as is the acid H atom. The structure comprises double layers of aromatic rings in a herringbone array separated by double layers of hydrogen-bonded aliphatic strings, a pattern seen previously in related substances.
