1.4 mg of epimeric pure lysergol (purity > 97%, HPLC-FLD), obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Taufkirchen, Germany), were dissolved in a glass vial in 1.2 ml of a 84:16 (v:v) acetonitril:water solution. The vial was subsequently capped and stored in the dark at ambient temperature (approximately 23 °C) until crystal formation was complete (2 days). To avoid any
of lysergol to isolysergol the epimeric purity of the resulted crystals was proofed by HPLC-FLD.In the absence of significant
effects, Friedel pairs were merged.The N—H and O—H hydrogen atoms were located in difference maps and and fixed in their found positions (AFIX 3) with Uĩso~(H) = 1.2 of the parent atom U~eq~ or 1.5 U~eq~(C~methyl~, O).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Lysergol is a clavine alkaloid produced by fungi of the family Clavicipitaceae. It naturally occurs in sclerotia and can be isolated from seeds of some species of the genus Ipomoea (Amor-Prats et al., 1993). Lysergol has an ergoline skeleton and is therefore structurally related to ergot alkaloids like ergometrinine (Merkel et al., 2010) or ergotamine (Pakhomova et al., 1995).
The molecule crytsallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121. The molecular structure of the compound and the atom-labeling scheme are shown in Fig 1.
The absolute configuration could not be defined confidently based on the single-crystal diffraction data. It was however established based on liquid chromatography data that confirmed the epimeric purity of the obtained lysergol crystals. Each lysergol molecule forms four hydrogen bonds to four adjacent water molecules. As a consequence, each water molecule is involved in four hydrogen bonds to four lysergol molecules, resulting in a three dimentional framework structure.
