Cu1 and Cu3 are essentially enantiomers of Cu2 and Cu4. The four molecules are packed with each other by intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding and aromatic‐ring stacking interactions.     

π‐Stacked hydrogen‐bonded dimers in 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid,and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of 2‐(4‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid

Molecules of 2‐(2‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid, C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₅, are linked into centrosymmetric R(8) dimers by a single O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.623 (2) Å and O—H⋯O = 178°] and these dimers are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The isomeric compound 2‐(4‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid crystallizes in two polymorphic forms. In the orthorhombic form (space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z′ = 1, crystallized from ethanol), the mol­ecules are linked into sheets of R(22) rings by a combination of one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.96 Å, N⋯O = 2.833 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 171°] and one O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H⋯O = 173°]. In the monoclinic form (space group P2₁/n with Z′ = 2, crystallized from acetone), the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.09 and 2.16 Å, N⋯O = 2.873 (4) and 2.902 (3) Å, and N—H⋯O = 147 and 141°] and two O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 1.84 and 1.83 Å, O⋯O = 2.664 (3) and 2.666 (3) Å, and O—H⋯O = 166 and 174°] into sheets of some complexity. These sheets are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.45 Å, C⋯O = 3.355 (4) Å and C—­H⋯O = 160°].
