Abstract
4-(2-Naphthyl)butanoic acid, C 14 H 14 O 2 , crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P 2 1 / 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.
