    Author: Aree T, Bürgi HB, Capelli SC.
    Journal: J Phys Chem A; 2012 Aug 02; 116(30):8092-9. PubMed ID: 22746958.
    Abstract:
    Multitemperature synchrotron diffraction data to 0.5 Å resolution in the temperature range 10-298 K and neutron data at 18 K of the α-glycine polymorph have been collected at the KEK photon factory (PF), SPring-8 and the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) for the study of molecular motion in the crystal and of the associated thermodynamic functions. Atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) of non-H atoms are obtained from refinements based on nonspherical atomic scattering factors (invariom model) to minimize correlation between parameters describing thermal motion and valence electron density. The ADPs in the temperature range 50-298 K from SPring-8 connect smoothly with those from neutron diffraction at 18 K and 288-323 K. The combined ADPs from both sources covering the temperature range 18-323 K are used for a normal-mode analysis in the molecular mean field approximation. The lattice vibration frequencies from the ADP analysis and the internal vibration frequencies from an ONIOM (B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p):PM3) calculation together with the Einstein, Debye, and Nernst-Lindemann models of heat capacity are used to calculate Cp, Hvib, and Svib values that are in good agreement with those from calorimetry.
