Abstract
The crystal structure of the known low-temperature anhydrous phase of psilocybin {3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1H-indol-4-yl dihydrogen phosphate, C12H17N2O4P} is reported. While the structure was previously characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, this study describes the first determination via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. High-resolution structural models were obtained both before and after in situ dehydration, allowing for a direct comparison of the lattice response to water loss.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is continuing its transition to a journal that publishes exciting science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Section C is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures of any type, other than macromolecular structures. Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.
