The structure of anhydrous 2,2'-biphenol, C12H10O2, is described, together with the hydrogen-bonding scheme. The first hydrogen bond is an intramolecular one, while the second one connects the biphenol molecules to build infinite chains running in the b direction. A comparison with the structure of 2,2'-biphenol monohydrate is made.
