Journal of Chemical Crystallography Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Aimed at the analysis of hydrogen bond interactions, the molecular structure of biphenyl-2, 2′-dimethanol (C14H14O2) has been determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with unit cell parameters: a =12.811(4) Å, b=5.009(4) Å, c=18.591(14) Å, and β=109.24(5)°, Z=4, V=1126.3(13) Å3. The magnitude of the interring torsion angle is 87.5°. There are O–H\(\cdots \)O and C–H\(\cdots \)π interactions which leads the structure to architectural supramolecular synthon.
