β¦ Synopsis
The complete structure of the unique tricyclic sesterterpene gascar ic acid is proposed based on a single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis of the dicyclohexylammonium salt. While the number of known sesterterpenes (Cz5 terpenes) is slowly increasing, they remain the rarest and least well understood class of terpenoid natural products. The sesterterpenes encompass a number of unique carbon skeletons, ring sizes and stereochemical relationships which have provided considerable challenges in structure elucidation and biosynthetic interpretation. 2 Gascardic acid, a lac acid isolated in the late 1950's,3 was the subject of intensive scrutiny by Polonsky, Arigoni and their collaborators and these efforts resulted in expression

## Abstract The Xβray diffraction of water was measured at 0Β°, 25Β° and 45Β°. An improved method has been used for the calculation of the distribution functions from the experimental data. This method was checked on the data for vitreous SiO~2~ The interpretation of the distribution curves for water
