Benz-yl(meth-yl)phosphinic acid.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(8)H(11)O(2)P, is a phosphinic compound with a tetra-coordinate penta-valent P atom. The phosphinic function plays a predominant role in the cohesion of the crystal structure, both by forming chains along the b axis via strong inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and by cross-linking these chains perpendicularly via weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
