In the title compound, 2C8H20N+·2C4H5O6−·C4H6O6·H2O, the presence of the two tetraethylammonium cations is balanced by two hydrogen L-tartrate anions. Also present in the are a molecule of L-tartaric acid and a water molecule. The various components are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, two-dimensional networks are formed via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯O interactions involving the water molecule, the hydrogen L-tartrate anions and the L-tartaric acid molecules. These layers, which stack along [001], are separated by tetraethylammonium cations. The latter are also involved in C—H⋯O interactions with the anions and the L-tartaric acid and water molecules participating in the two-dimensional network.

The title compound was synthesized using tetraethyl ammonium and L-tartaric acid in an equimolar ratio. The measured quantity of L-tartaric was dissolved in double distilled water until a
was obtained. Tetraethylammonium hydroxide (20% water) was then added slowly drop wise to the aqueous solution of L-tartaric acid. The mixture was stirred well at RT until a homogeneous solution was obtained. It was then stirred for 4 hrs at 350 K (oil bath) and then cooled to RT. The cooled solution was then filtered and the filtrate covered using a thick parafilm sheet, in order to control the evaporation rate at RT in a constant temperature bath. Good quality single crystals of title compound were obtained after 1 month.In the final cycles of
in the absence of significant effects, 3324 Friedel pairs were merged and Δf " set to zero. The is referred to that of L-tartaric acid. The water H-atoms were located in difference electron-density maps and were refined with O—H distance restraints of 0.84 (2) Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.5 × Ueq(O). The OH and C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: O—H = 0.84 Å, C—H = 1.0, 0.99 and 0.98Å for CH, CH2, and CH3 H-atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(C or O), where k = 1.5 for OH and CH3 H-atoms, and k = 1.2 for all other H-atoms.Data collection: X-AREA (Stoe & Cie, 2009); cell

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. |

Our interest in the determination of the structure of the title compound is due to recent advances in organic non-linear optical (NLO) materials on account of their widespread potential industrial applications (Dega-Szafran et al., 2008; Bosshard et al., 1995). The majority of promising compounds constitute dipolar donor-π-acceptor molecules and these must be arranged non-centrosymmetrically to afford macroscopic structures capable of showing bulk quadratic NLO effects, such as frequency doubling [second-harmonic generation, SHG] (Coe et al., 2005). In particular, molecule-based NLO materials offer ultrafast response times, lower dielectric constants, better processability characteristics and enhanced nonresonant NLO responses relative to the traditional inorganic crystals. Previous work has shown that an inherent relationship exists between the structure of title material and its observed properties, although the SHG output was found to be rather weak when compared to KDP or urea.
The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit is composed of two tetraethylammonium cations, two hydrogen L-tartrate anions, a molecule of L-tartaric acid and a water molecule. The various moieties are linked by O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
In the crystal two-dimensional networks (Fig. 2) are formed via O—H···O hydrogen bonds and C—H···O interactions (Table 1) involving the water molecule, the hydrogen L-tartrate anions and the L-tartaric acid molecules. These layers stack along [001] are separated by tetraethylammonium cations, which are also involved in C—H···O interactions with the anions and the L-tartaric acid and water molecules (Fig. 3 and Table 1). This arrangement is similar to that in the crystal structure of Tetra-ethylammonium hydrogen L-tartrate dihydrate, which has been reported on previously (Rahman et al., 2008).
