D-Histidinium (2S,3S)-tartrate

M. N. Johnson and N. Feeder

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₆H₁₀N₃O₂⁺·C₄H₅O₆^-, has been determined as part of an ongoing study into the fundamental effects of chirality on salt formation and hydration. This structure has distinct layers of histidine, which are linked by stacks of tartrates, forming a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network.
