The title compound [systematic name: (R)-(−)-2-acetoxy-2-phenylacetic acid], C10H10O4, is a resolved chiral ester derivative of mandelic acid. The compound contains an acetate group and a carboxylic acid group, which engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming chains extending parallel to [001] with a short donor–acceptor hydrogen-bonding distance of 2.676 (2) Å.

The title compounds, both C8H4F3NO4, represent two isomers of nitro trifluoromethyl benzoic acid. The compounds each contain a nitro functionality para to the carboxylic acid group, with the trifluoromethyl substituent ortho to the acid group in the 2-isomer and ortho to the nitro group in the 3-isomer. The regiochemistry with respect to the trifluoromethyl group results in steric interactions that rotate the carboxylic acid group or the nitro group out of the aromatic plane in the 2- and 3-isomer, respectively. Each molecule engages in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming head-to-tail dimers with graph-set notation R 2 2(8) and donor–acceptor hydrogen-bonding distances of 2.7042 (14) Å in the 2-isomer and 2.6337 (16) in the 3-isomer. Recrystallization attempts did not yield untwinned crystals.

The title compound, C10H9F3O3, represents the structure of racemic Mosher's Acid (systematic name: 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid), a carboxylic acid that when resolved can be employed as a chiral derivatizing agent. The compound contains a carboxylic acid group, a methoxy group and a trifluoromethyl substituent on an asymmetric benzylic carbon atom. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit form a non-centrosymmetric homochiral dimer via intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded head-to-tail dimers with graph-set notation R 2 2(8) and donor–acceptor hydrogen-bonding distances of 2.6616 (13) and 2.6801 (13) Å.

The adduct hydrate of 1,1-diethylurea with pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, [(C6H4N2O4)(C5H12N2O)].H2O has been prepared and characterized using low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. A primary asymmetric cyclic hydrogen-bonding interaction, similar to those found in other adducts of 1,1-diethylurea with the nitro-substituted aromatic acids, was found between the amide group of the substituted urea and one carboxylic acid group of the acid. Further peripheral hydrogen-bonding associations involving both the f irst and the second carboxylic acid groups, urea and the lattice water molecule result in a ribbon polymer structure.

In the title co-crystal, C25H32N4O2·C14H10O5, molecules are connected into supramolecular chains aligned along [102] by O—H...N hydrogen bonding. These aggregate into supramolecular layers oriented parallel to (20-1) by C—H...O interactions. These layers then stack in anABABpattern along theccrystal direction to give the full three-dimensional crystal structure. The central chain in the dipyridylamide has ananti–anticonformation. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes is 29.96 (3)°. Disorder is noted in some of the residues in the structure and this is manifested in two coplanar dispositions of one statistically disordered carboxylic acid group.

The title compound, [Eu2(C7H5O2)6(C15H11N3)2(H2O)2]·2C7H6O2, is a co-crystalline compound containing a dinuclear EuIIIcoordination complex with inversion symmetry co-crystallized with benzoic acid in a 1:2 ratio. The Eu3+ions within the dimer are nine-coordinate, containing one tridentate terpyridine, one water, and four benzoate ions, two of which bridge the Eu3+ions. Of the four benzoate ligands coordinating to each Eu3+position, three distinct coordination modes [monodentate, bidentate–chelating, and bidentate–bridging (twice)] are observed. Within the crystal, there are two additional uncoordinating benzoic acid molecules per dinuclear complex. Within the dimer, the water bound to each Eu3+ion participates in intramolecular hydrogen bonding with a coordinating benzoate. Additionally, the carboxylic acid group on the benzoic acid participates in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with a benzoate ligand bound to the dimer complex.

Infrared and ultraviolet studies of the lignins extracted from extractive-free aspen wood meal after autohydrolysis at 195 °C for periods varying from 5 min to 2 h indicated that these lignins were functionally modified and different from aspen milled wood lignin. The extracted lignins changed from a guaiacyl–syringyl type lignin to a syringyl-deficient type lignin with increasing autohydrolysis time. Extracted lignins were also observed to contain unconjugated β-ketone groups and conjugated carboxylic acid groups. It is proposed that the unconjugated β-ketone groups resulted from the depolymerization reactions of the lignin macromolecule under acidic conditions which formed monomeric, dimeric, and oligomeric/polymeric lignin fragments with Hibbert's ketone side chains. The conjugated carboxylic acid group observed to be present was attributed to p-hydroxybenzoic acid. p-Hydroxybenzoic acid has been postulated as contributing to the extractability of aspen lignin by acting as a blocking agent in the repolymerization of lignin fragments to form insoluble lignin.
