Within the temperature range 13–273 K, MGly may exist in three solid phases. A crystalline phase (I) can be formed from the liquid upon slow cooling [Tonset=222–227 K] or from the low temperature glassy state resulting from fast deposition of the vapour onto a cold substrate at 13 K and subsequent warming. A mixture of the glassy state and crystalline phase (I) is obtained by cooling the liquid at higher cooling rates (vcooling?10 K min–1). Upon heating this mixture, devitrification occurs at ca. 175 K, the cold liquid then formed giving rise to a second crystalline variety (II) at Tonset=198–207 K. In the glassy state, individual MGly molecules may assume the two conformational states previously observed for this compound isolated in an argon matrix and in the liquid phase [S. Jarmelo and R. Fausto, J. Mol. Struct., 1999, 509, 183]. On the contrary, the crystalline phase I was found to exhibit conformational selectivity—in this phase, all individual molecules assume a conformation analogous to the most stable conformer found for the isolated molecule and in the liquid (the syn-syn s-cis conformer, where the H–O–C–C, O–C–CO and OC–O–C dihedrals are ca. 0°). In agreement with the spectroscopic results, a molecular modeling analysis reveals that, in this phase, two non-equivalent molecules exhibiting an intramolecular OH···O hydrogen bond exist, which are connected by a relatively strong intermolecular OH···O hydrogen bond. Crystalline state II could not be characterized in detail structurally, but the thermodynamic studies seem to indicate that it corresponds to a metastable crystalline form having a more relaxed structure and a slightly higher energy than crystalline state I. The observed temperature of fusion for the two observed crystalline forms are: I, 264 K and II, 260 K. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/10719 | ISSN: | 1463-9076 | DOI: | 10.1039/a909291i | Direitos: | openAccess |
