Abstract: In the title compound, C9H12NO3+·Cl-·2H2O, the cation has a protonated amino group resulting from proton transfer from chloridric acid. The structure displays double layers parallel to the  direction held together by N-HO, N-HCl, O-HO and O-HCl hydrogen bonds. These layers are stacked along the c axis at b = 1/2; within each layer, the tyrosinium cations are arranged in an alternating head-to-tail sequence, forming inversion dimers [R22(10) motif]. The water molecules allow for the construction of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network formed by centrosymmetric R66(28) and R88(34) motifs.
