Crystal structures are reported for three fluoro- or chloro-substituted 1'-deoxy-1'-phenyl-β-d-ribofuranoses, namely 1'-deoxy-1'-(2,4,5- trifluorophenyl)-β-d-ribofuranose, C11H11F 3O4, (I), 1'-deoxy-1'-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)-β-d- ribofuranose, C11H11F3O4, (II), and 1'-(4-chlorophenyl)-1'-deoxy-β-d-ribofuranose, C11H 13ClO4, (III). The five-membered furanose ring of the three compounds has a conformation between a C2'-endo,C3'-exo twist and a C2'-endo envelope. The ribofuranose groups of (I) and (III) are connected by intermolecular O - H?O hydrogen bonds to six symmetry-related molecules to form double layers, while the ribofuranose group of (II) is connected by O - H?O hydrogen bonds to four symmetry-related molecules to form single layers. The O?O contact distance of the O - H?O hydrogen bonds ranges from 2.7172(15) to 2.8895(19)A?. Neighbouring double layers of (I) are connected by a very weak intermolecular C - F?π contact. The layers of (II) are connected by one C - H?O and two C - H?F contacts, while the double layers of (III) are connected by a C - H?Cl contact. The conformations of the molecules are compared with those of seven related molecules. The orientation of the benzene ring is coplanar with the H - C1' bond or bisecting the H - C1' - C2' angle, or intermediate between these positions. The orientation of the benzene ring is independent of the substitution pattern of the ring and depends mainly on crystal-packing effects.

RNA exhibits a higher structural diversity than DNA and is an important molecule in biology of life. It shows a number of secondary structures such as duplexes, hairpin loops, bulges, internal loops etc. However, in natural RNA, bases are limited to the f
