Acta Crystallographica. Section E, Crystallographic Communications May 1, 2024 Matthias Zeller, Stephan Parent, Nate Schultheiss
The title compound, C12H16N2O, is a hy-droxy-substituted mono-amine alkaloid, and the primary metabolite of the naturally occurring psychedelic compound psilocybin. Crystalline forms of psilocin are known, but their characterization by single-crystal structure analysis is limited. Herein, two anhydrous polymorphic forms (I and II) of psilocin are described. The crystal structure of polymorphic...
