Abstract
An X-ray analysis of the crystal structure of di-(L-alanine)monophosphite monohydrate was carried out. The symmetrically nonequivalent L-alanine molecules were found to be present in the structure in two different forms coupled by a strong hydrogen bond: monoprotonated positively charged [CH3CH(NH3)COOH] molecule and CH3CH(NH3)COO zwitterion. Two layers are distinguished in the structure: one is a positively charged layer formed by L-alanine molecules and the other is a negatively charged layer composed of phosphite ions and water molecules. These layers, alternating along the a axis, are connected to each other by a network of hydrogen bonds.
