The crystal structure of (+/-)-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (C(11)H(10)O(3)) involves projection of the carboxyl group nearly orthogonal to the aromatic plane and hydrogen bonding of the acid groups by centrosymmetric pairing across the a edge and the center of the chosen cell [O...O = 2.705 (2) A]. Intermolecular C--H...O==C close contacts to translationally related molecules are found for both the ketone (2.55 A) and the acid (2.67 A). In (+/-)-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-2-acetic acid (C(12)H(12)O(3)), the aggregation involves centrosymmetric carboxyl dimers mutually hydrogen bonded across the bc face and the a edge of the chosen cell [O...O = 2.674 (2) A]. A 2.60 A close C--H...O==C contact is found to the carboxyl group of centrosymmetrically related molecule.
