Interested in knowing more about
Strychnine and Strychninium salts? Reads on!
Very pleased to see you have a strychnine coffee
mug. Back more years ago
than I care to remember, I solved the first x-ray
crystal structure of
strychnine as a free base (previous structures had
been of strychninium
salts).
Here's a pointer to the paper we published the
structure in: SSB Glover, RO
Gould & MD Walkinshaw, Structures of Strychnine (I),
C21H22N2O2, and a
Solvate of Brucine (II), C23H26N2O4.C2H 6O.2H2O,
Acta Crystallogr. Sect. C,
41, 990-994, 1985.
