Carbohydrate–water interactions of p-nitrophenylglycosides in aqueous solution. Ultrasonic and densitometric studies†
Abstract
Hydration behavior of carbohydrate molecules with the anomeric position blocked, a series of axial and equatorial p-nitrophenylglycosides with different stereochemistry, has been thermodynamically analyzed in aqueous solution as a function of concentration at 298.15 K. For this purpose, the speed of sound and the density of solutions were simultaneously and automatically measured with a technique and a method recently developed by us. From these
