The linear chains are linked into a layer in the ac plane via O¡ªH...Ocarboxylate hydrogen bonds. Layers are connected into double layers via N¡ªH...Ocarboxylate hydrogen bonds and these stack along the b axis. C¡ªH...¦Ð interactions are also present. Disorder in the ethylene portion of the fumarate was modelled over two positions, the major component having a site-occupancy factor of 0.677 (15). %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536809024246
