Abstract

Solid state dynamic properties have been investigated for the racemic (dl) and enantiomerically pure (l) crystalline forms of the amino acid serine [HO·CH2·CH(NH3+)·CO2-] using 2H NMR line shape analysis and 2H NMR spin−lattice relaxation time measurements for samples of dl-serine and l-serine deuterated in the NH3+ and OH groups. 2H NMR line shape analysis indicates that, for both l-serine and dl-serine, the ND3+ group undergoes a 3-site 120° jump motion, with jump frequencies in the intermediate motion regime (103 s-1 to 108 s-1) in the temperature range 153−313 K. However, at a given temperature, the jump frequency is substantially higher for l-serine (e.g., at 233 K, the jump frequency is 5.0 × 106 s-1 for l-serine and 6.0 × 104 s-1 for dl-serine). The OD group is not dynamic on the 2H NMR time scale within the temperature range studied. The results from both 2H NMR line shape analysis (LA) and 2H NMR spin−lattice relaxation time measurements (SLR) indicate that the activation energy for the 3-site 120° jump motion of the ND3+ group is significantly higher for dl-serine [38.0 ± 1.0 kJ mol-1 (LA); 39.7 ± 0.8 kJ mol-1 (SLR)] than for l-serine [23.4 ± 0.8 kJ mol-1 (LA); 23.8 ± 0.3 kJ mol-1 (SLR)]. The difference in activation energies between dl-serine and l-serine is substantially greater than any reported previously for an amino acid in different crystal forms.
