    Abstract:
    The crystal structure of L-ornithinium α-ketoglutarate (C5H13N2O2, C5H5O5) has been solved by direct methods using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21, unit cell parameters a=15.4326(3), b=5.2015(1), c=16.2067(3) Å and β=91.986(1)°, containing two independent pairs of molecular ions in the asymmetric unit. An extensive hydrogen-bond network and electrostatic charges due to proton transfer provide an important part of the cohesive energy of the crystal. The conformational versatility of L-ornithine and α-ketoglutaric acid is illustrated by the present results and crystal structures available from the Cambridge Structural Database.
