The crystal structure of 7-aminobutyric acid hydrochloride originally determined by Tomita [Jap. J. Brain Physiol. (1965). 61, 1-4], has bzen refined. The general form of the molecule is confirmed as being 'fully-trans'. The structure now reveals a bifurcated hydrogen bond between an amino hydrogen and two chlorine atoms.
