Abstract

In the title compound, C8H12N+.C2H4O5P-, the anions are linked by two O-H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O both 1.75 Angstrom, O...O = 2.5781 (15) and 2.5834 (15) Angstrom, and O-H...O = 169 and 176degrees] into sheets built from alternating R-2(2)(8) and R-6(6)(32) rings. Each cation is linked to an anion sheet by three N-H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O = 1.88-2.04 Angstrom, N...O = 2.7603 (16)-2.9334 (17) Angstrom and N-H...O = 162-166degrees], such that all the cations pendent from one face of the sheet are of the R configuration, while all those pendent from the opposite face are of the S configuration.
