Planar versus non-planar: The important role of weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure of 5-methylsalicylaldehyde
The crystal structure of 5-methylsalicylaldehyde (5-MSA; systematic name 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde), C8H8O2, was discovered to be a textbook example of the drastic structural changes caused by just a few weak C—H...O interactions due to the additional methylation of the aromatic ring compared t...
