Abstract
In the title compound, C3H8NO2+.C2HO4-, the alanine molecule exists in the cationic form and the oxalic acid molecule in the mono-ionized state. The a laninium and semi-oxalate ions form alternate columns leading to a layered arrangement parallel to the ac plane and each such layer is interconnected to the other through N-H . . .O hydrogen bonds. The overall aggregation pat tern is distinctly different from that observed in the glycine-oxalic acid complex.
