2-(2-Methylbenzoyl)benzoic acid: catemeric hydrogen bonding in a γ-keto acidThis paper is dedicated to the memory of HWT; he was a wonderful mentor, teacher and friend at Rutgers University-Newark for over 44 years.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C15H12O3, displays catemeric aggregation involving O—H...O hydrogen bonds progressing from the carboxyl group of one molecule to the ketone O atom of another glide-related neighbor. The molecule is twisted, with the toluene 80.61 (3)&a...
