Structure and Properties of the di- ((2S) -2-amino-3- (1H-indol-3-yl)propionate)-dihydro-tetraiodide

“…Depending on the combination of building blocks, five different structural families of glycine halides and glycine metal halides were distinguished [1]. Studies of the physical properties have shown that some of these compounds are ferroelectrics, ionic conductors, and exhibit interesting thermal and optical properties [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Due to the presence of asymmetric centers in most amino acid molecules, coordination compounds with amino acids crystallize within non-centrosymmetric spatial groups, being possible candidates for nonlinear optical materials and are interesting compounds because of their possible use in new optoelectronic technologies [10,11].…”
