During the formation of the title salt, C7H10N+·C3H3O4−, an H atom of a carboxyl group was transferred to the amino group. All non-H atoms of the cation are essentially coplanar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 (4) Å]. The mean planes of the carboxylate and carboxyl groups of the anion form a dihedral of 69.67 (1)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the anions and cations, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.

Malonic acid (10 mmol), 4-toluidine (10 mmol) and ethanol (50 mL) were added to a 100mL flask. The mixture was stirred at 333K for 2 h, and then the precipitate was filtrated off. Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of the solution.
H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in idealized positions and treated as riding with C–H = 0.95 Å (aromatic), C–H = 0.98 Å (methyl) and C–H = 0.99 Å (methylene) with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C except methyl), Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(C methyl). The positional parameters of the H atoms (N and O) were refined freely. And in the last stages of the
they were restrained with H—N = 0.91 (2)Å and H—O = 0.82 (2)Å with Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(N and O).Simple organic salts containing strong intrermolecular H-bonds have attracted attention as materials which display ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transitions (Chen et al., 2001; Huang, et al. 1999; Zhang, et al. 2001). With the purpose of obtaining
crystals of organic salts, various organic molecules have been studied and a series of new crystal materials have been elaborated (Wang, et al. 2002; Xue, et al. 2002; Ye, et al. 2008). Herein, we present the synthesis and of the title compound.The molecular structure of the title salt is shown in Fig. 1. The
is composed of one 4-methylanilinium cation and one 2-carboxyacetate anion. All non-H atoms of the cation are essentially coplanar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 (4)Å ]. The mean planes of the carboxylate and carboxyl groups of the anion form a dihedral of 69.67 (1)°. In the crystal, N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds connect anions and cations to form a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc-plane (Fig. 2 and Table 1).For the structures and properties of related compounds, see: Chen et al. (2001); Wang et al. (2002); Xue et al. (2002); Huang et al. (1999); Zhang et al. (2001); Ye et al. (2008).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Simple organic salts containing strong intrermolecular H-bonds have attracted attention as materials which display ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transitions (Chen et al., 2001; Huang, et al. 1999; Zhang, et al. 2001). With the purpose of obtaining phase transition crystals of organic salts, various organic molecules have been studied and a series of new crystal materials have been elaborated (Wang, et al. 2002; Xue, et al. 2002; Ye, et al. 2008). Herein, we present the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecular structure of the title salt is shown in Fig. 1. The asymmetric unit is composed of one 4-methylanilinium cation and one 2-carboxyacetate anion. All non-H atoms of the cation are essentially coplanar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 (4)Å ]. The mean planes of the carboxylate and carboxyl groups of the anion form a dihedral of 69.67 (1)°. In the crystal, N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds connect anions and cations to form a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc-plane (Fig. 2 and Table 1).
