Abstract
The title compound, C10H10O2 crystallized in space group P2(1) with tw o molecules in the asymmetric unit. In this structure, hydrogen bondin g of the cyclic dimer type [with O ... O 2.623 (2)-2.637 (2) Angstrom] links the two molecules of the asymmetric unit. The two carboxylic H atoms are ordered, as are the O atoms. Each of the two non-equivalent molecules exhibits an asymmetric cyclopropane ring; the values found f or the asymmetry parameters are delta(COOH) = -0.034 (4) and -0.025 (4 ) Angstrom, and delta(phenyl) = -0.028 (4) and -0.023 (4) Angstrom.
