In the title molecule, C10H10O4, the carboxylic acid group is twisted by 11.37 (15)° from the plane of the benzene ring and the acetoxy group is twisted from this plane by 86.60 (17)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with the expected R

2(8) graph-set motif.
Background and Objective: The commonly used drug of 2-acetoxybenzoic acid is used for the treatment of pain and fever due to various causes. The effect of drug may be increased if two compounds are taken together. Few studies have been encountered on investigation of drug-drug combination crystal. In this regard, the present research was carried out to perform the investigation of 2-acetoxybenzoic acid with 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid crystal by theoretical and experimental methods. Materials and Methods: 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, distilled water and ethanol are the raw materials used in the crystallization. The crystals were obtained by slow evaporation method at room temperature. Results: The grown crystal was characterized by powder XRD, FT-IR, Laser Raman, UV-Visible spectroscopy techniques and SEM with EDX analyzes. Conclusion: The computational study gives the optimized molecular structure with minimizing energy. Also, the crystal density was determined by the flotation method. The crystalline nature and average crystallite size has been performed using PXRD. The different functional groups present in the crystal were analyzed using IR and Raman spectroscopic techniques. The optical band gap was determined as 5.1 eV. The elemental composition was confirmed from the EDX study.
In the title compound, C13H10ClNO, the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings is 51.42 (9)° and an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. The Cl atom and the N atom are syn. No directional interactions beyond van der Waals contacts are observed in the crystal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
