This analysis provides the first precise crystal and molecular structural parameters for [alpha]-D-glucose. The C-C, C-H, and O-H bond lengths deviate only slightly from their means of 1.523 A, 1.098 A, and 0.968 A. The C(I)-O(I) bond length, 1.389 A, is significantly shorter than the mean value, 1.420 A, of the other C-O bonds. The valence angle of the ring oxygen is 113.8 degrees.
