Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₃H₈NO₂⁺·C₄H₃O₄^-, the sarcosine 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 O5 and O4 is found to be asymmetric. There are no direct hydrogen-bonded interactions between the semi-maleate anions.
