%X The absolute configuration of mitomycin C was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction (CuK¦Á), and a new crystalline dihydrate of mitomycin C had been prepared. The experiment result provides a definitive answer to the real absolute configuration of mitomycin C and may put an end to the dispute that baffles researchers for decades. At the same time, some contentious structures about the mitomycin C in American Pharmacopoeia USP36-NF31, Chinese pharmacopoeia 2015 edtion and numbers of literatures are marked. The absolute configuration is also verified by
