The structure of the title compound, ofuranosyl)-2-oxo-1H-3-pyrimidini
o]-(cyano)borate, C10H15BN4O4.H2O, features an interaction of 2.05 (4)
Angstrom between an H atom of the -BH2CN group and an H atom of the -
NH2 group. The -C=N group does not lie in the cytosine plane, the N at
om being 2.24 Angstrom away from the plane. The cytosine rings are sta
cked with almost complete overlap along the twofold screw axis with an
interplanar separation of 4.03 Angstrom. The sugar is in the T-3(4) p
uckering mode, the C(5')-O(5') bond has the gg conformation and the re
lative orientation of the sugar and the base is anti.
