A combined solid-state NMR and quantum chemical calculation study of hydrogen bonding in two forms of α-d-glucose

Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the structure and function of a wide range of materials. Solid-state ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides a very sensitive tool to investigate the local structure of hydrogen atoms involved in hydrogen bonding. While there is extensive ¹H solid-state NMR data on O-H - - O hydrogen bonding in solid carboxylic acids, there has been no systematic ¹H solid-state NMR studies of …
