title: Single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and solid-state 13C NMR of p-nitrophenyl glycopyranosides, the derivatives of D-galactose, D-glucose, and D-mannose.
abstract: The X-ray diffraction patterns, (13)C CP MAS NMR spectra, and powder X-ray diffraction analyses were obtained for selected p-nitrophenyl glycosides: alpha- and beta-D-galactopyranosides (1 and 2), alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosides (3 and 4), and alpha- and beta-D-mannopyranosides (5 and 6). In X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 and 2, characteristic shortening and lengthening of selected bonds were observed in the molecules of 1 due to anomeric effect, and in the crystal lattice of 1 and 2, hydrogen bonds of complex network were detected. In the crystal asymmetric unit of 1 there were two independent molecules, whereas in 2 there was one molecule. For 1 and 3-6 the number of resonances in solid-state (13)C NMR spectra exceeded the number of the carbon atoms in the molecules, while for 2 there were distinct singlet resonances in its solid-state NMR spectrum. Furthermore, the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) performed for 1-3 and 5 revealed that 1, 3, and 5 existed as single polymorphs proving that the doublets observed in appropriate solid-state NMR spectra were connected with two non-equivalent molecules in the crystal asymmetric unit. On the other hand 2 existed as a mixture of two polymorphs, one of them was almost in agreement with the calculated pattern obtained from XRD (the difference in volumes of the unit cells), and the subsequent unknown polymorph existed in small amounts and therefore it was not observed in solid-state NMR measurements.
