Abstract
The NaNCS complex of the macrotetrolide antibiotic nonactin, which acts as an ionophore with biological and artificial membranes crystallizes in the space group C2/c, a = 15.55, b = 19.59, c = 15.31 Γ , Ξ² = 90Β°. The Xβray crystal structure investigation shows that Na^+^ is coordinated by four carbonyl oxygen atoms (Na^+^ β¦ O, 2.42 Γ ) and four ether oxygen atoms (Na^+^ β¦ O, 2.77 Γ ). The cubic coordination by eight equidistant oxygen atoms observed in the K^+^ complex (K^+^ β¦ O, 2.81 Γ ) is thus deformed. This, however, requires only very small changes in the ligand conformation.

## Abstract An Xβray crystal structure investigation of the macrotetrolide antibiotic nonactin is reported. The shape of the molecule is discussed with special reference to the conformational changes involved in passing from free nonactin to the K^+^βcomplex.
We would like to report evidence requiring modification of the unit cell for the amylose-DMSO complex originally reported by French and Zobel.'
