The title compound was obtained by hydrothermal methods. A mixture of Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O (0.16 g), H3PO3 (0.19 g), D,L-aspartic acid (0.25 g) and H2O (8 ml), was sealed in a 25 ml Teflon-lined steel autoclave and heated under autogenous pressure at 363 K for 3 days. Then, the filtrate was kept at room temperature and colorless prism-like crystals were obtained after three weeks.
All the H atoms were located from difference-density maps in a difference Fourier map and their positions and isotropic displacement parameters were refined.
Interest in D,L-aspartic acid has spanned several decades, from the first structural determination by Rao (1973), due to its acting as important ligand in the preparation of transition metal complexes (Ciunik, 1987; Casellato et al., 1991; Barfod et al., 1999). In exploring the possibility of introducing D,L-aspartic acid into a phosphite system, we unexpectedly obtained the title compound. To the best of our knowledge, there are only four reports on the structure of D,L-aspartic acid (Rao et al., 1968; Rao, 1973; Sequeira et al., 1989; Flaig et al., 1998). The present structure of D,L-aspartic acid differs slightly from these previously reported ones, since it presents the same space group and a similar molecular disposition, but with an a parameter some 7–8% shorter.
The molecules (Fig. 1) are interconnected with each other by hydrogen bonds to form a 3-D supramolecular network (Table 1 and Fig. 2).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
