• We have recently published the crystal structure of 9-(1′,3′-O-anhydro-β -D-psicofuranosyl)adenine,[11] the furanosyl ring of which adopts an N-type sugar pucker with the following pseudorotational parameters: P N = 50.2° and νmax = 34.9°. These data are in harmony with the average corresponding values, 39.80° and 35.07°, for the same nucleoside resulted from the ab initio calculations utilizing 6-31G* Hartree-Fock geometry optimization.[6]
