✦ Synopsis
The crystal structure of the a phase of malonic acid has been determined ab initio from high-resolution neutron powder diffrao tion data at 373 K. Thestructure is orthorhombic: a-7.64800( 1) A, b=5.0211 I (I) A, c= 11.55803(2) A, V,=443.84_A3 with four molecules in the unit cell and is character&d by hydrogen bonded dimeric units linked through symmetry equivalent car-boxy1 groups, The molecules form zig-zag chains along the c-axis direction but in contrast to the triclinic ambient temperature p phase there is a twisting of the carboxylic groups rendering them equivalent and related by a twofold axis.
