Glycine sodium nitrate.
The glycine molecule in the title compound, Na(NO(3)).C(2)H(5)NO(2), exists in the zwitterionic form. The Na atom exhibits eightfold coordination and the polyhedron may be visualized as a distorted hexagonal bipyramid. The glycine molecules are linked through head-to-tail hydrogen bonds and are found 'sandwiched' between the Na(NO(3)) layers.
