  • Title: Molecular dynamics of polycrystalline cellobiose studied by solid-state NMR.
    Author: Tang HR, Belton PS.
    Journal: Solid State Nucl Magn Reson; 2002; 21(3-4):117-33. PubMed ID: 12199355.
    Abstract:
    Molecular motions of polycrystalline cellobiose have been investigated by measuring proton spin-lattice relaxation times, T1 and T1rho, and the second moment, M2, in both protonated and D2O exchanged forms over the temperature range 120-380 K. T1 relaxation is dominated by the motions of hydroxyl groups between 150 and 380 K, characterised by an activation energy of about 8.74 kJ/mol, whereas T1rho relaxation is driven by the motions of the same groups between 120 and 300 K. T1rho results suggest that hydroxyl groups have a distribution of dynamics. Motion of methylene groups was detected in the second-moment experiments at about 350 K, characterised by activation energy of about 40 kJ/mol. Consideration of the calculated and observed rigid-lattice second moments suggests that the reported X-ray data are incorrect for the inter-proton distance on C6'. 13C CPMAS spectra of both protonated and deuterated cellobiose have also been measured. Spectra of the deuterated material showed the existence of a second crystalline form in addition to the normal form.
