Methyl-phospho-nic acid, CH3PO(OH)2.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, CH5O3P, contains two independent mol-ecules with nearly identical bond lengths and angles. In the crystal, each of the mol-ecules acts as acceptor (P=O) and donor (P-OH) of four hydrogen bonds to three adjacent mol-ecules, resulting in the formation of two different bilayers (one for each mol-ecule) stacked perpendicular to the a axis in the crystal.
