Abstract: | In the crystalline state, the centrosymmetric molecule 1,2,4,5‐tetrakis(cyanomethyl)benzene, C14H10N4, has one cyanomethyl group in the benzene plane and one cyanomethyl group rotated 67.2 (2)° out of the benzene plane. Molecules of methyl 3,4,5‐triacetoxybenzoate, C14H14O8, form chains with each molecule twisted 89.6 (1)° from the preceding molecule. In this orientation, a close C—H?O contact is formed, with an H?O distance of 2.34 Å. The structure of 2‐(N‐phthalimidomethyl)benzoic acid, C16H11NO4, reveals hydrogen‐bonded dimers linked by the carboxyl groups of adjacent molecules. The O4?O3 distance is 2.636 (2) Å and the O4—H?O3 angle is 171 (2)°. |
