Imidazolium hydrogen tartronate

T. Fukunaga and H. Ishida

Abstract: Tartronic acid forms the title salt, C₃H₅N₂⁺·C₃H₃O₅^-, with imidazole. Hydrogen bonds in the crystal link the anions, forming a hydrogen-bonded layer. The cations cross-link the layers, leading to a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
