The crystal structure of N-acetylglycine, CdH~NO3, which was originally determined by Carpenter & Donohue in 1950, has been refined by three-dimensional least-squares methods. Coordinates and individual anisotropic temperature parameters of the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms as well as the coordinates of four hydrogen atoms were included in the refinement. The remaining three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group are disordered, the methyl group apparently being free to assume all orientations about the C-C bond.
