Abstract

Refinement of neutron-diffraction data from a partially deuteriated single crystal of taurine, 2-aminoethylsulfonic acid, confirms the zwitterion structure, ND +3 (CH2)2SO −3 , at room temperature; the S−C−C−N torsion angle of thegauche configuration in the solid state is −69.40. Hydrogen positions have been located more precisely than in the earlier X-ray analysis to yield apparent bond lengths N−D/H=1.02(1) Å and C−H=1.08(1) Å.
