β¦ Synopsis
By means of x-ray fiber diffraction, it has been found that xylan diacetate crystallizes with two chains or four residues in a monoclinic cell (space group P21): a = 7.64, b = 12.44, c (fiber axis) = 10.31 A, and y = 85". Pairs of residues are related by a twofold screw axis in the c direction. Based on the observed fiber repeat and chain symmetry, the probable conformation of a pair of xylose diacetate residues joined via a p-1,4' linkage has been obtained by energy minimization methods. The conformations corresponding to a threefold screw axis and a twofold screw axis along the chain have been compared and the reason why xylan diacetate assumes a twofold screw axis seems to be due to intermolecular packing effects rather than intramolecular non-bonded interactions.
