The low-temperature structure determination of the title compound, alternatively called ammonium hydrogen hydroxypropanedioate, NH
4+·C
3H
3O
5−, has revealed that the H atom involved in a very short asymmetric O—H
O hydrogen bond [O
O = 2.448 (2) Å at 240 K and 2.4393 (10) Å at 20 K] is disordered.

Crystals of (I) were grown by slow evaporation from an aqueous solution
containing equimolar amounts of tartronic acid and ammonia. A crystal was
mounted on a sapphire stick and a thermocouple was fixed to the stick adjacent
to the crystal. The temperature was regulated to within ±0.2 K of the setting
temperature using a closed-cycle He refrigerator (Cryogenics HC-2) equipped
with a temperature control (Chino, KP1000). Cell constants were checked over
the temperature range 20–298 K. Intensity data for structure analysis were
collected at 20 and 240 K. The χ range was limited within 173 and 473 K for
the low-temperature measurements. Reflections which suffered from scattering
by the sapphire stick were removed from the diffraction data.
All H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically.
The sum of the occupancy factors of the H3A and H3B atoms was constrained to
1.0. A t the final stage of the least-squares refinement, the occupancy factor
of H3A was fixed to 0.6 for the 240 K determination and at 0.55 for the 20 K
determination. The O5—H3A and O3—H3B distances became essentially the same
[0.78 (4) and 0.78 (5) Å, respectively, at 240 K, and 0.86 (3) and 0.82 (4) Å,
respectively, at 20 K]. The Uiso values of H3A were close to those of
H3B, and the Ueq values of O5 [0.0284 (3) Å2 at 240 K and
0.00650 (13) Å2 at 2 0 K] were close to those of O3 [0.0277 (3) Å2 at
240 K and 0.00608 (13) Å2 at 20 K]. Thus, the refinements were terminated.
Uiso values at 240 K: 0.029 (5) Å2 for H1, 0.026 (9) Å2 for H3A
and 0.030 (15) Å2 for H3B; the range of Uiso values for the H
atoms of the ammonium ion was 0.061 (8)–0.082 (10) Å2. Uiso values
at 20 K: 0.009 (3) Å2 for H1, 0.018 (7) Å2 for H3A and 0.020 (9) Å2
for H3B; the range of Uiso values for the H atoms of the ammonium ion
was 0.022 (4)–0.027 (4) Å2. Refined distances: C—H = 0.99 (2) Å, N—H =
0.86 (3)–1.00 (3) Å and O—H = 0.78 (5)–0.79 (3) Å at 240 K; C—H =
1.008 (14) Å, N—H = 0.870 (16)–0.906 (17) Å and O—H = 0.790 (19)–0.86 (3) Å at 20 K.

A previous study of the title compound, (I), at 295 K showed that a very short asymmetric O—H···O hydrogen bond [O···O 2.443 (2) Å] is formed between the carboxylate and carboxyl groups of neighboring moieties related by a twofold screw axis (Taka et al., 1998). A least-squares refinement of (I) resulted in a long O—H bond length of 1.18 (3) Å in the short hydrogen bond, as reported earlier for several short hydrogen bonds (Olovsson & Jönsson, 1976; Misaki et al., 1986). The structure was not refined by assuming a disorder of the H atom involved in the short hydrogen bond, because no peak was observed in a difference Fourier map around the region expected for a disordered H atom and the residual electron density in the region was as low as 0.12 e Å-3 (Taka et al., 1998). Valuable temperature experiments have been undertaken recently for several compounds by neutron or X-ray diffraction method in order to obtain information on the bonding behaviour of the H atom involved in short hydrogen bonds (Olovsson et al., 2001; Wilson, 2001; Kashino et al., 1998, 2001).
The present work is part of a study on the behaviour of the H atom in the very short hydrogen bond in (I) formed between O5 and O3i [symmetry code: (i) -x, y - 1/2, 3/2 - z] (Figs. 1–3, and Tables 2 and 4). It has been confirmed that at 240 and 20 K, the H atom involved in the short hydrogen bond is disordered between two positions with non-equivalent occupancy factors. This indicates that the potential function is of an asymmetric double-minimum type for this short hydrogen bond. The apparent H3A···H3B distance is 0.89 (7) Å at 240 K and 0.78 (5) Å at 20 K. It is noted that the O5—C3 bond is significantly longer than the O3—C2 bond (Tables 1 and 3), in accordance with the fact that the occupancy factor of H3A (0.60 at 240 K and 0.55 at 20 K) is larger than that of H3B (0.40 at 240 K and 0.45 at 20 K). The O5···O3i distances at 240 and 20 K [2.448 (2) and 2.4393 (10) Å, respectively] are essentially the same as that observed at 295 K [2.443 (2) Å]. The longest two N···O distances of the N—H···O hydrogen bonds are shortened by 0.024 (6)–0.017 (5) Å at 245 K and by 0.053 (4)–0.056 (4) Å at 20 K.
A recent study of short asymmetric O—H···O hydrogen bond [O···O 2.400 (5) Å at 150 K, 2.405 (6) Å at 250 K, 2.420 (7) Å at 295 K and 2.430 (9) Å at 335 K] in urea–phosphoric acid (1/1) by neutron diffraction showed that the position of the H atom involved in the hydrogen bond becomes effectively centred at the highest temperatures studied (Wilson, 2001). The disorder and occupancy of the H atom were examined (Wilson, 2001). The short hydrogen bond in (I) should further be studied in order to clarify the temperature dependence of the occupancy of the H atom and the nature of the disorder by combining neutron and X-ray diffraction methods at low temperatures.
