In the title co-crystal, C2H5NO2·C4H6O6, the gylcine molecule is present in the zwitterion form. In the tartaric acid molecule there is a short intramolecular O—H⋯O contact. In the crystal, the tartaric acid molecules are linked via pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked via a number of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the two components, forming a three-dimensional network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
