Abstract :
The molecular shape of the title compound, C16H12O7, is bent around the central CH2—O bond. The two benzene rings are almost perpendicular to one another, making a dihedral angle of 87.78 (7)°. In the crystal, each molecule is linked to three others by three pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming undulating sheets parallel to the bc plane and enclosing R22(8) ring motifs. The sheets are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
