Beta-Cytidine exhibits extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding in
teractions in its crystal structure; every H atom bonded to an N or O
atom (five in total) is involved and each beta-cytidine molecule contr
ibutes to ten intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The O ... O and O ... N d
istances range from 2.707(4) to 2.947(4) angstrom. An intramolecular C
-H ... O interaction is observed with a C ... O distance of 3.245 (5)
angstrom.
