Preliminary Results of a 20 K X-Ray Study of Citrinin

Abstract
A total of about 37 000 diffracted intensities has been measured at 20 K for a spherical single crystal of citrinin. Using a multipole formalism to interpret the X-ray data, maps of the charge density and of its Laplacian, as well as for the electrostatic potential have been derived. A value of 7(2) D has been obtained for the magnitude of the molecular dipole moment. A study of the electric field gradient (EFG) at the nuclei has yielded the atomic quadrupole coupling constants (QCC) and asymmetry parameters (η). A topological analysis of the charge density has been performed to characterize the intramolecular covalent and hydrogen bonds.
