4-{2-[3-(2-Ammonioacetamido)propanamido]ethyl}-1H-imidazol-3-ium dichloride

Abstract

Molecules of the title compound, Gly-β-Ala-Histamine dihydrochloride, C10H19N5O22+·2Cl−, are linked by N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional polymeric sheets parallel to the (011) plane, forming a stacked structure along the a axis. The parallel layers are also interlinked alternately by different N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework.
