    Anhydrous oxalic acid exists as two polymorphs; in one the hydrogen-bonding results in a chain-like structure, whereas the hydrogen bonding pattern in the other form defines a sheet-like structure. [23] Because the anhydrous material is both acidic and hydrophilic (water seeking), it is used in esterifications.
