Abstract: In the crystal structure of strychnidine succinate, C₂₁H₂₅N₂O⁺·C₄H₅O₄^-, strychnidinium bilayers are separated by layers composed of extended carboxylic acid O-HO hydrogen-bonded chains. The significantly different C-O distances of the carboxylate groups of the succinate anion allow the negatively charged O atoms to be identified.
