Structure and dynamics of terephthalic acid from 2 to 300 K. II. The temperature dependence of the disorder: a solid-state NMR study

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)
The structure of terephthalic acid C/sub 6/D/sub 4/(COOD)/sub 2/ has been found to be ordered to a high extent at 2 K, whereas an almost complete disorder of the hydrogen-bond protons was observed at 300 K. In this part, the temperature dependence of the dipolar lineshape of the two hydrogen-bonded protons in ring-deuterated terephthalic acid (C/sub 6/D/sub 4/(COOH)/sub 2/ is studied. The results are consistent with dynamic disorder in an asymmetric double-minimum potential with a free enthalpy difference of the two tautomeric species of 2 kJ/mole. 5 references, 3 figures.
