Alternative hydrogen-bond structures were found for cellulose II and IIII based on molecular dynamics simulations using four force fields and energy optimization based on density functional theory. All the modeling results were in support to the new hydrogen-bonding network. The revised structures of cellulose II and IIII differ with the fiber diffraction models mainly in the orientation of two hydroxyl...
The neutron structure of a complex of EDA with cellulose has been determined to reveal the location of hydrogen atoms involved in hydrogen-bonding. EDA disrupts the hydrogen-bonding pattern of naturally occurring cellulose by accepting a strong hydrogen-bond from the O6 hydroxymethyl group as the conformation of this group is rotated from tg to gt. The O3-H·O5 intrachain hydrogen-bond commonly found...
The hydrogen bond arrangement in a complex of cellulose with ammonia has been studied using neutron crystallography in combination with molecular dynamics simulations. The O6 atom of the hydroxymethyl group is donor in a highly occupied hydrogen bond to an ammonia molecule. This rotating ammonia molecule is donor in partially occupied and transient hydrogen bonds to the O2, O3 and O6 atoms of the...
