Bis(tetraethylammonium) bis(hydrogenL-tartrate)L-tartaric acid monohydrate

Bis(tetra­ethyl­ammonium) bis­(hydrogen l-tartrate) l-tartaric acid monohydrate

In the title compound, 2C(8)H(20)N(+)·2C(4)H(5)O(6) (-)·C(4)H(6)O(6)·H(2)O, the presence of the two tetra-ethyl-ammonium cations is balanced by two hydrogen l-tartrate anions. Also present in the asymmetric unit are a mol-ecule of l-tartaric acid and a water mol-ecule. The various components are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, two-dimensional networks are formed via O-H⋯O hydrog...

Significance of urinary tartaric acid.

Tartaric Acid Dehydrogenase Activity in Higher Plants1,2

Although the tartrates have been considered as possible metabolites in higher plants since the initial work of Pasteur in 1848, surprisingly little is known of their actual physiological significance. Vickery and Palmer (35) have briefly reviewed the history of (+)-tartrate in plants, including the problems of identification and of nomenclature. They conclude that (+)-tartrate is an uncommon pl...

l-Asparagine–l-tartaric acid (1/1)

In the title compound, C(4)H(8)N(2)O(3)·C(4)H(6)O(6), the amino acid mol-ecule exists as a zwitterion and the carb-oxy-lic acid in an un-ionized state. The tartaric acid mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The amino acid mol-ecules are also linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The alternating tartaric acid...

Glycine–d-tartaric acid (1/1)

In the title co-crystal, C(2)H(5)NO(2)·C(4)H(6)O(6), the gylcine mol-ecule is present in the zwitterion form. In the tartaric acid mol-ecule there is a short intra-molecular O-H⋯O contact. In the crystal, the tartaric acid mol-ecules are linked via pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked via a number of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the two co...
