Powder X-ray characterization of lithium thiazolidine-4-carboxylate

Abstract

Powder X-ray diffraction studies of a lithium salt of thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (Li-TC4) of composition LiC4H6NSO2 are presented in this paper. Analysis of the synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data showed that the complex has an orthorhombic symmetry with space group P212121. Unit cell parameters after the refinement using the Pawley method are: a=19.4931(3) Å, b=4.947 77(6) Å, c=6.201 64(8) Å, and V=598.051 Å3.
