Abstract
Single crystals of cytosine hydrochloride (C4H5N3O.HCl, mol. weight 147·56) weighing about 4 g were grown using the technique of cooling the solution. The composition of the crystals and some of their properties are described and basic crystallographical parameters were determined by means of a reflection two-circle goniometer and X-ray diffraction methods (monoclinic system, 2/m, P21/c).
