-Alaninium perchlorate

S. Pandiarajan, B. Sridhar and R. K. Rajaram

Abstract: In the title compound, C₃H₈NO₂⁺·ClO₄^-, a normal O-HO hydrogen bond is observed which forms a dimer between the carboxylic acid groups of two -alaninium residues related by an inversion center. An intramolecular hydrogen bond is observed between the amino-N and carboxyl-O atoms. The amino-N atom is also involved in a three-centered hydrogen bond with O atoms of the perchlorate anion across the center of inversion, forming infinite chains.
