β-Aminobutyric acid is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is known to protect plants against various pathogens. Its structure is midway between α-aminobutyric acid and γ-aminobutyric acid. The structural differences in the position of the amino group in the conformational stabilization of β-aminobutyric acid have been studied by laser ablation Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Five conformers have been detected, and their rotational and quadrupole coupling constants of the 14N nucleus determined. Three of the conformers, including the most stable structure, are stabilized by a non-bifurcated N–H⋯OC intramolecular hydrogen bond. The other two conformers possess a N⋯H–O intramolecular interaction. In this work we highlight that β-aminobutyric acid shows the conformational peculiarities of α-aminobutyric acid and γ-aminobutyric acid completing the rotational spectroscopic study of the x-aminobutyric acid series.

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.
