✦ Synopsis
The title solvate, C 7 H 6 O 4 ÁC 2 H 3 N, comprises two molecules, one acid and one solvent. The main molecules are arranged in layers by a two-dimensional hydrogen-bond network. In this way, channels are formed along the [100] axis, which are occupied by tail-to-tail solvent molecules in a manner similar to that observed previously in related structures. However, the hydrogen bond between an acetonitrile N atom and one of the hydroxyl groups is relatively normal, with an NÁ Á ÁO separation of 2.8189 (10) A ˚. The placement of the solvent molecules makes the whole structure unstable under ambient conditions. Several minutes after removing the crystal from the mother solution it became milky, which probably indicates release of the solvent from the crystal structure.
