Abstract: In the formation of the title compound, C₄H₁₂NO⁺·C₄H₅O₆^-·H₂O, the (R)-2-amino-1-butanol molecule is converted to a cationic form containing a positively charged amino group, and the tartaric acid molecule to a mono- or half-ionized tartrate anion. The structure is stabilized by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds.
