Abstract: The crystal structure of the unstable form of glycine, fl, has been determined.The structure was refined by Fourier methods using the (hO1) and (0/el) data obtained by Geiger counter measurements.The crystals are monoclinie with space group P21 and the unit-cell dimensions are a=5.077,b=6.268, c=5.380A; fl=113.2°.The structure consists of hydrogen bonded molecular layers, extending parallel to the (010) plane, which have the same configuration of molecules as that found in the a-form.The two forms differ in their hydrogen bond systems between layers.* Private communications from Dr Tsuboi.For infra-red spectra of these crystals, see Tsuboi et al. (1958).
