Abstract
<div class="line" id="line-5"> The structures of two phases of fluorene-4-carboxylic acid, C <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 14 </span> H <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 10 </span> O <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 2 </span> , from room-temperature growths have been determined. In the <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/alpha_rmgif.gif"/> phase, O-H <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/ctdot_rmgif.gif"/> O hydrogen bonding occurs <i> via </i> cyclic dimers about a center of symmetry; in the <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/beta_rmgif.gif"/> phase, cyclic dimers with O-H <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/ctdot_rmgif.gif"/> O hydrogen bonds are formed between two crystallographically inequivalent molecules and do not involve a center of symmetry, though centers of symmetry are present in the crystal. The present evidence strongly suggests that the <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/beta_rmgif.gif"/> phase is metastable with respect to the <img src="http://scripts.iucr.org/logos/entities/alpha_rmgif.gif"/> phase at room temperature, but the regions of stability have not been determined.</div><div class="line" id="line-27"> <br/></div>
