Abstract
Solutions of amylose in ethylenediamine yield a crystalline film complex upon evaporation of solvent. The x‐ray analysis indicates the presence of a tetragonal‐shaped cell with a symmetry approximating that of space group P2~1~2~1~2~1~. The amylose sixfold helix has a diameter of 13.3 Å and a translation period of 8.0Å. Chemical and physical analyses support a complexing ratio of one ethylenediamine molecule to every two glucose units. The structure is nearly identical to any amylose–dimethyl sulfoxide complex previously examined. The square mode of packing arrangement appears to result from complexation between amylose chains. Such complexing indicates a much greater degree of amylose interaction than is observed in amylose complex structures having a hexagonal close‐packing arrangement.

## Synopsis Complexes of amylose with n-butanol were prepared both as crystalline precipitates and as oriented fibers. These complexes were subjected to x-ray analysis, their unit cells were calculated, and the space group of F212121 was confirmed. n-Butanol complexes exist in both hydrated and an
Most starch granules exhibit a natural crystallinity, with different diffraction patterns according to their botanical origin: A-type from cereals and B-type from tubers. The V polymorph results essentially from the complexing of amylose with compounds such as iodine, alcohols, or lipids. The intens
