B. Ravikumar, S. Athimoolam and R. K. Rajaram

Abstract: In the title compound, C₅H₁₄N₂O₂²⁺·SO₄^2-·H₂O, the ornithinium cation forms a strong O-HO hydrogen bond with the sulfate anion. One backbone conformation angle is in an eclipsed conformation, while the other two are in a trans-trans staggered conformation. All the amino and carboxylate groups and the sulfate anions are involved in hydrogen bonding. The amino groups are also involved in a three-centred hydrogen bond with the O atoms of the sulfate anion.
