K. Bouchouit, L. Bendheif and N. Benali-Cherif

Abstract: In the title compound, C₈H₁₀NO₂⁺·NO₃^-, there are two crystallographically independent cations and two anions, the pairs being related by a pseudo-inversion centre at approximately (0, ${1 \over 4}$ , ${1 \over 4}$ ). The phenylglycinium cations and nitrate anions are linked to each other through strong N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional complex network.
