Abstract
AS part of a programme of work on the investigation of the bond lengths and bond angles in purines1, the crystal structure of 1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid has been determined. In the preceding communication, de Santis, Giglio and Liquori have reported the crystal structure of this substance, but describe a different polymorphic form from the one given here.
