Abstract
Laser Raman and infrared spectra of (β‐alanine) β‐alaninium nitrate were recorded and analyzed at room temperature. The proposed assignment of normal modes is based on group theoretical analysis. The hydrogen atom is shared by two amino acids, leading to switching of roles of the cation and zwitterion. The two alanine groups share one proton and become monoprotonated. The presence of an ionized carboxylic group and carbonyl was identified. The extensive hydrogen bonding in the crystal is responsible for the changes in the position and intensity of several bands. The nitrate anion fundamentals, however, continue to be degenerate. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
