The title compound, C11H12FIN4O3, is composed of a 7-carbapurine moiety connected via an N atom to 2-de-oxy-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 ((o)T4). The conformation around the C-C bond is +sc, with a torsion angle of 53.0 (12)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the a axis. These chains are linked via O-H⋯I and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to the c axis.
