3-Carboxy-anilinium hemioxalate.

In the title compound, C(7)H(8)NO(2) (+)·0.5C(2)O(4) (2-), the asymmetric unit consists of an 3-carboxy-anilinium cation, and one-half of an oxalate anion, which lies on a twofold rotation axis. The crystal packing is consolidated by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The structure is built from infinite chains of cations and oxalate anions extending parallel to the b and c axes. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin. The ratio of the twin components refined to 0.335 (3):0.665 (3).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
