Abstract
The cation of the title structure [systematic name: (5alpha,6alpha)-6-hydroxy-7,8-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinanium dihydrogen phosphate hemihydrate], C18H22NO3+.H2PO4-.0.5H2O, has a T-shaped conformation. The dihydrogen phosphate anions are linked by O-H...O hydrogen bonds to give an extended ribbon chain. The codeine cations are linked together by O-H...O hydrogen bonds into a zigzag chain. There are also N-H...O bonds between the two types of hydrogen-bonded units. Additionally, they are connected to one another via O...H-O-H...O bridging water molecules. The asymmetric unit contains two codeine hydrogen cations, two dihydrogen phosphate anions and one water molecule. This study shows that the water molecules are firmly bound within a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework.
