[beta]-Alaninium maleate

K. Rajagopal, R. V. Krishnakumar and S. Natarajan

Abstract: In the title compound, C3H8NO2+·C4H3O4-, the [beta]-alanine molecule exists in the cationic form with a positively charged amino group and an uncharged carboxylic acid group. The maleic acid molecule exists in the mono-ionized state. In the semi-maleate ion, the intramolecular hydrogen bond between atoms O3 and O5 is found to be asymmetric. There are no direct hydrogen-bonded interactions between the semimaleate anions. The nature of interactions between individual molecules is different from those observed in L-alaninium maleate.
