Abstract
2-(methylthio)benzoic acid (1) is an ortho-substituted benzoic acid derivative, whereas 4-(methylthio)benzoic acid (2) is a para-substituted benzoic acid derivative. The structural analysis of both compounds was carried out using PXRD data. 2-(methylthio)benzoic acid shows a triclinic system with the
