B. Sridhar, N. Srinivasan, B. Dalhus and R. K. Rajaram

Abstract: In the title compound, C₆H₁₄N₃O₃⁺·ClO₄^-, the citrullinium residue forms a strong O-HO hydrogen bonds with the terminal O atom of a symmetry-related residue. This residue has a gauche I-trans-trans-trans conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by an N-HO hydrogen-bonding network. The perchlorate anion is linked to the cation, forming chains along the a axis.
