There are two crystallographically independent cations and two anions in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C4H5NO2+·NO3−. In the crystal, the 1-carboxypropanaminium cations and nitrate anions are linked to each other through strong N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional complex network. C—H...O interactions also occur.
