<i>trans</i>-1,4-dibromocyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid

Abstract

Molecules of the title compound, C<SUB>8</SUB>H<SUB>10</SUB>Br<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>, located on symmetry centers, are in a rigid chair conformation, with the COOH and Br substituents axial and equatorial, respectively. The carboxylic acid groups form hydrogen bonds, in a cyclic motif, leading to infinite chains along the b axis.
