The crystal structures of the title compounds (both C(7)H(7)ClO) are characterized by two independent molecules in each of the asymmetric units and feature O--H...O, C--H...pi and pi-pi interactions. In addition, intermolecular C--H...Cl and intramolecular O--H...Cl interactions are present in 2-chloro-5-methylphenol. For each crystal, the non-covalent interactions emphasize the different spatial environments for the two independent molecules.
