DL-Histidine DL-tartrate

M. N. Johnson and N. Feeder

Abstract: The crystal structure of DL-histidine DL-tartrate, C₆H₁₀N₃O₂⁺·C₄H₅O₆^-, has been determined as part of an ongoing study of the fundamental effects of chirality on salt formation and hydrates. Discrete single-enantiomer chains of histidine are linked in two dimensions by hydrogen bonds to a racemic pair of tartrate molecules.
