Abstract

The crystals of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)taur~ne are orthorhombic;
a= 9.666 (4), b = 11.681 (6), c = 12.754 (8) A; space group is Pbca
with eight formula units in the unit cell. A three-dimensional
X-ray crystal structure analysis has shown that the compound
crystallizes as zwitterion, formula HOCH2CH2NH2•CH2CH2S03-.
Dihedral aingle S- C- C- N = 175.60, and N- C- C-0 = - 59.8°.
Zwitterions are connected by hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional
network.
