DL-Leucinium nitrate

F. Berrah, N. Benali-Cherif and H. Lamraoui

Abstract: The crystal structure of DL-2-ammonium-4-methylvaleric acid nitrate (C₆H₁₄NO₂⁺·NO₃^-, DL-leucinium nitrate) can be described by considering two types of layers parallel to the bc plane: hydrophilic layers including the head of the leucinium residue (ammonium and carboxylic groups) with the nitrate anion, and hydrophobic layers including the tail of the leucinium residue.
