ResumoThe crystal structure of L-alanine, C3H702N, has been determined and refined by analysis of complete three-dimensional diffraction data from copper X-radiation.The crystals are orthorhombic with space group P212~21 ; the unit-cell dimensions are a = 6.032, b = 12.343, c = 5.784 A. Least-squares refinement of the positional parameters of all 13 atoms and of the individual anisotropic temperature factors of the six heavy atoms, using 581 observed reflections of non-zero weight, yielded a final R index of 0.049.The structure bears a striking resemblance to that Of DL-alanine, and involves the use of all available protons in N-H • • • O hydrogen bonds, with lengths of 2.83, 2.85, and 2.81 A,.
