Bis(glycylglycinium) oxalate at 100 K

The structure of the title compound, 2C₄H₉N₂O₃⁺·C₂O₄²⁻, which has been determined by X-ray diffraction, contains discrete glycyl­glycine (HGly–Gly)⁺ cations in general positions and oxalate anions which lie across centres of inversion. Although the geometry of the (HGly–Gly)⁺ cation is not significantly different compared with other structures containing this residue, a few changes in conformation are observed which indicate the presence of molecular interactions. The molecular network in the crystal consists of one nearly linear O—H⋯O, five N—H⋯O and two weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
