Why is it important?

Maleic acid is the leader substance of forming salts with L-amino acids among other carboxylic acids. What makes it being so perfect for forming new structures. What structural motives are present in all and these structures? What physical properties are there? - all these questions are answered

Perspectives

Nice paper of maingly structural research, but with highlight of physical properties, NLO effect, etc. Gives some clues to crystal engineering.
