The crystal structure of dl ‐histidine dl ‐tartrate, C 6 H 10 N 3 O 2 + ·C 4 H 5 O 6 − , has been determined as part of an ongoing study of the fundamental effects of chirality on salt formation and hydrates. Discrete single‐enantiomer chains of histidine are linked in two dimensions by hydrogen bonds to a racemic pair of tartrate molecules.
