Phenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside and Phenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside Dimers: Small Structural Differences but Very Different Interactions

Phenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside and Phenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside Dimers: Small Structural Differences but Very Different Interactions

We report a combination of laser spectroscopy in molecular jets and quantum mechanical calculations to characterize the aggregation preferences of phenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (β-PhGlc) and phenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (β-PhGal) homodimers. At least two structures of β-PhGlc dimer were found maintaini...
