The crystal structures of the α' and β forms of D-mannitol

Abstract: The crystal structures of,8-D-mannitol and e'-D-mannitol have been solved in three and two dimensions respectively by superposition procedures on the Patterson synthesis. The space group of the ,8 form is P212~21, with four molecules in the unit cell of dimensions a= 8.672, b= 16.875 and c=5.560/~; the space group of the e' form is C222~, with four molecules in special positions in a unit cell with dimensions a= 8"94, b=4.92 and c= 18.24 A. The molecules have the same conformation in both structures, with 2 sy… Show more

“…The remainder of the carbon atoms of the hexitol chain, each of which is involved in a 1,3-dioxolane ring, have bond angles (Table 3) which are nearly commensurate with those of DL (7), and the P (8) and K (9) forms of mannitol; the C(3)-C(4)-C(5) bond angle is -lo3 larger and the C(4)-C(5)-C(6) bond angle is -lo smaller, relative to those compounds. A salient feature of 2 in the crystalline state is the proximity of C(l), C(2), and C(3) ( Table 3).…”

“…4, the corresponding segments of Darabinitol and D-mannitol (Berman, Jeffrey & Rosenstein, 1968;Kim, Jeffrey & Rosenstein, 1968)have the same conformation as the meso-erythritol molecule.…”

“…It is pertinent to ask why such conformational dimorphism, involving the presence or absence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, has not been observed in any of the 11 alditol structures that have been studied, which included three polymorphic forms of mannitol (Kim, Jeffrey & Rosenstein, 1968;Berman, Jeffrey & Rosenstein, 1968). The explanation may lie in the observation that the sugar alcohols are hydrogen bonded intermolecularly so that, in general, each hydroxyl both donates and accepts hydrogen bonds.…”
