| Summary: | The title compound, C3H10NO3P, crystallizes in its zwitterionic form, H3N+CH(C2H5)PO(O−)(OH), with the asymmetric unit being composed by two of such entities (Z′ = 2). The crystal packing leads to a sequence of hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers. While the hydrophobic layer comprises the aliphatic substituent groups, the hydrophilic one is held together by a series of strong and rather directional N+—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. |
