The complexes between L-leucine and aromatic sulfonic acids, L-leucine 3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (C6H14NO2+.C8H9O3S-.H2O), L-leucine 2,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (C6H14NO2+.C8H9O3S-.H2O), L-leucine 4-methylbenzenesulfonate monohydrate (C6H14NO2+·C7H7O3S-.H2O), as well as L-leucine benzenesulfonate monohydrate, exhibit a striking similarity in their packing schemes, which are dominated by van der Waals stacking of the hydrogen-bonded molecular double layers. The tightness of packing of double layers is most likely related to the solubility of the complexes.
