The title compound, C11H12FIN4O3, is composed of a 7-carbapurine moiety connected via an N atom to 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-ribose. The conformation about the N-glycosydic bond is −anti with χ = −129.0 (11)°. The glycosydic N—C bond length is 1.435 (14) Å. The sugar ring adopts an Nconformation with an unsymmetrical twist O-endo-C-exo (oT4). The conformation around the C—C bond is +sc, with a torsion angle of 53.0 (12)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the a axis. These chains are linked via O—HI and C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to the c axis.
