(a) Crystal-structure fragments of DL-serinium maleate, (II) . The C22(12) chains are formed by the –NH3+ and –COOH groups of the serinium cations interacting with the –COO− and –COOH groups of the semi-maleate anions. (b) The C22(12) chains are not connected directly to each other by hydrogen bonds. The C22(12)′ chains are formed by the –NH3+ and –OH groups of the serinium cations with the –COO− and –COOH groups of the semi-maleate anions. Hydrogen bonds are shown as pale dashed lines. |
