L-Phenylalanine-4-nitrophenol (1/1).
In the 1:1 adduct formed between L-phenylalanine and 4-nitrophenol [alternative IUPAC name: (2S)-2-ammonio-3-phenylpropanoate-4-nitrophenol (1/1)], C9H11NO2.C6H5NO3, the L-phenylalanine molecule is in the zwitterionic state. The overall structure is stabilized via strong hydrogen bonding between polar zones and van der Waals interactions between non-polar zones, which alternate with the polar zones.
