Abstract

While the crystal structure analysis of the title compound, C26H38O15, a synthetic derivative of sucrose, was originally reported 40 years ago [Drew et al. (1979). Carbohydr. Res. 71, 35–42], the present work has allowed for the determination of its absolute configuration through the application of resonant scattering techniques.
