Abstract
The cross-polarization and magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS-NMR) technique has been used to analyze the polymorphic forms of three triacylglycerols, 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol (POP), 1, 3-racpalmitoyl-stearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol (POS), and 1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol (SOS). Specific attention has been paid to glycerol, carbonyl, olefinic, and methyl end carbon resonances. Many distinct differences were observed in each polymorphic form of SOS. In the α form, the saturated and unsaturated acyl chains exhibit liquid state-like conformations. However, olefinic conformations of the γ and β′ forms were asymmetric with respect to thecis double bond. Spectral difference between β2 and β1 was observed only for the methylene carbon, and not in the other regions. Spectra of corresponding polymorphic forms of POP and POS were almost identical to those of SOS. However, some spectral differences were observed in the glycerol and methyl regions of γ and β′. From the chemical shifts of the methylene carbons, the crystal structures of the polymorphic form have been discussed, particularly in terms of the subcell structures.
