organic compounds
The molecular structure of the title acid, C15H14O2, exhibits a trans-planar arrangement of the aromatic rings. The carboxyl group is inclined at an angle of 6.4 (1)° with respect to the attached benzene ring. The classical hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimers (OO = 2.7 Å), characterized by an R22(8) pattern, predominantly stabilize the supramolecular assembly.
