It is widely known that the ability of sugar glasses to preserve anhydrobiotic systems in nature is important but the process is not yet fully understood. Molecular motions in the glassy state are likely to be important in the process but until now have remained largely uncharacterized. Here we describe the use of 1D 13C NMR exchange experiments using CODEX (centreband only detection of exchange) methods to study the dynamics of the well characterised model glassy monosaccharide, methyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside. The glass was prepared by fast cooling of a melt inside an NMR rotor. Molecular motions in the range of seconds to milliseconds were observed in the glass, whereas identical experiments using the crystalline material displayed no observable motions in the time-scales covered by the experiment. At 13 to 14 K above Tg the nature of the motion in the glass changed probably due to the onset of larger scale reorientation. A bimodal distribution of jump angles combined with a broad distribution of correlation times was found to best represent the observed motions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
