Hydrogen bonding in 1-carboxypropanaminium nitrate

Abstract

There are two crystallographically independent cations and two anions in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C4H5NO2 +·NO3 −. In the crystal, the 1-carb­oxy­propanaminium cations and nitrate anions are linked to each other through strong N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional complex network. C—H⋯O inter­actions also occur.
