Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The absolute configuration of echitamine iodide has been determined by the Bijvoet technique, making use of the intensity differences betweenhkl and\(\bar h \bar k \bar l\) reflections due to the anomalous scattering of CuK a radiation by the iodine atom. The various steps in the procedure are discussed in detail in this paper.
