The determination of molecular structure is an important step in the potential applications of naturally occurring organic compounds with interesting biological activity. For a significant fraction of newly isolated natural products, however, standard analytical techniques such as Nmr and mass spectrometry cannot provide a definitive structure. Now, Leo gross and co-workers have used a scanning...
