title: Glycinium trifluoroacetate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(2)H(6)NO(2)(+).C(2)F(3)O(2)(-), the main N-C-COOH skeleton of the glycinium cation is almost perfectly planar. The trifluoroacetate anion has a staggered conformation with typical bond distances and angles. The CF(3) group is slightly disordered. The structure is stabilized by an extensive network of strong O-H.O hydrogen bonds and weaker N-H.O bonds.
