Graphene-like nets of hydrogen-bonded water molecules in the dihydrate of 2-[(2-ammonioethyl)amino]acetate and the structure of its anhydrous hydroiodide salt
Abstract:2-[(2-Ammonioethyl)amino]acetate dihydrate, better known as N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine dihydrate, C(4)H(10)N(2)O(2) x 2 H(2)O, (I), crystallizes as a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network. Amino acid molecules form layers in the ac plane separated by layers of water molecules, which form a hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional net composed of fused six-membered rings having boat conformations. The crystal structure of the corresponding hydroiodide salt, namely 2-[(2-ammonioethyl)ammonio]acetate iodide, C(4)H(11)N(2… Show more
“…18b). Another example is provided by the crystal structure of the zwitterionic 2-[(2-ammonioethyl)amino]acetate dihydrate, 101 in which the hydration molecules form layers of fused boats, hydrogen-bonded above and below to the carboxylate groups (Fig. 18c).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
