Visualization of the voids in the structures of (a) (I) and (b) (II) using the Mercury program (Macrae et al., 2008). The channel along the b direction is highlighted by the dark-red circle. Voids were found using the `contact surface' method with a probe radius of 0.5 Å and a grid size of 0.1 Å. The major-disorder form of the DL-norvalinium cation and DL-norvalinium–DL-norvaline dimeric cation are coloured green, the maleate anion is blue and red dots correspond to the minor-disorder forms of the components. |
