4-Methylanilinium 2-carboxyacetate

Abstract

In the crystal of the title salt, C7H10N+·C3H3O4−, the cations are linked to the anions via N—H...O and trifurcated N—H...(O,O,O) hydrogen bonds. The anions are linked into [010] chains by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Taken together, these interactions generate (100) sheets.
