Predicted cluster/fragment PBE0 17O chemical shifts for benzoic acid. Though the isolated dimers would be symmetric, symmetry of the two configurations is broken in the crystal. The protonated oxygen is closer to either the (a) meta hydrogens in configuration A or (b) ortho hydrogens of the neighboring benzoic acid dimers in configuration B.
