The title salt, C7H10N(+)·C7H13O2(-)·C7H14O2, is an unusual 2:1 stoichiometric combination of two carb-oxy-lic acid mol-ecules and one amine. Although there are crystal structures of a number of 1:1 complexes reported in the literature, 2:1 acid amine complexes are rather uncommon. In this case, a proton is transferred between one acid mol-ecule and the amine to give an acid anion and an ammonium cation whilst the other carb-oxy-lic acid remains protonated. The species inter-act strongly via ele ...[more]
