Low-temperature redetermination of trans-cyclo-hexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(8)H(12)O(4), lies on a twofold rotation axis that passes through the mid-points of two opposite C-C bonds of the ring. Carboxyl groups of adjacent mol-ecules are linked by pairs of hydrogen bonds around a centre of inversion; this inter-action gives rise to a chain that runs along [101].
