L-Histidinium p-toluene­sulfonate

In the title salt, C₆H₁₀N₃O₂⁺·C₇H₇O₃S⁻, the imidazole ring makes a dihedral angle of 70.93 (12)° with the plane of the toluene ring. In the crystal, the ions are linked via N—H...O and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (001). These networks are linked via C—H...π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
