Molecular Structure of LSD

Science November 10, 1972 Roy W. Baker, Cyrus Chothia, Peter Pauling et al. 23 citations

The molecular configuration of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in crystals of the iodobenzoate has been determined by using x-ray diffraction techniques. The configuration shows strain and steric hindrance and the conformation is fixed. Some of the implications of this for the hallucinogenic activity of LSD are discussed.
