Abstract Crystals of Sr2+ (C10H11PN4O8)2− · 6.5H2O are orthorhombic, space groupP212121, witha = 21.925(1),b = 21.503(1),c = 8.600(1) Å, and eight formula weights per unit cell. A trial structure was obtained by Patterson, superposition, and Fourier techniques and was refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations using absorption-corrected, CuKα, diffractometer data. The finalR index is 0.032. A strontium ion is coordinated to N(7), the site that is often involved in the binding of transition metals to purine nucleotides. Strontium ions are also directly coordinated to a phosphate-oxygen atom and to ribose-hydroxyl groups. These direct interactions are accompanied by a number of outer-sphere, water-mediated contacts of strontium ions with various acceptor sites on the nucleotides.
