Abstract

Indolocarbazole glycosides are balanced between two conformations: a 'closed' conformation containing a cyclic hydrogen bond between the indolocarbazole NH and the pyranose oxygen and an 'open' conformation in which the indolocarbazole NH is hydrogen bonded to solvent. The open conformation never has a commanding advantage, even in DMSO, but in nonpolar environments the cyclic conformation predominates.
