Crystal structure of 5-aminovaleric acid has been determined by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. Diffraction data of high angle-resolution and of accurate intensity were collected by a large-radius (28.65 cm) Weissenberg camera using monochromatic X-rays. The structure was successfully solved from these data by combination of Patterson synthesis and trial and error method, followed by Rietveld refinement.
