Abstract: The title compound, C4H9N2O3+·NO3-, crystallizes with two asparaginium cations and two nitrate anions in the asymmetric unit. In both asparaginium residues, protonation take place at the carboxyl O atom cis to the amine group. Cation I exists in a trans conformation, whereas cation II exhibits a gauche I conformation. A straight head-to-tail sequence is observed for one of the asparaginium cations. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
