  1. Wood ChemistryPSE 406 Lecture 5 Cellulose PSE 406: Lecture 5

  2. Ketoses • α-D-fructopyranose • β-D-fructofuranose PSE 406: Lecture 5

  3. Cellulose: the Basics • Linear polymer made up of -D glucopyranose units linked with   glycosidic bonds. • Repeating unit = glucose (cellobiose) • Glucopyranose units in chair form - most thermodynamically stable. Only less that 1% in other forms • CH2OH and OH groups in equatorial positions stability PSE 406: Lecture 5

  4. Cellulose: More Basics • Cellulose is elongated and the glucose units in one plane for the following reasons: • linkages • The thermodynamic stability of the chair form • Amylose (starch) occurs as a helix in solid state because of the  1-4 linkage. PSE 406: Lecture 5

  5. Reducing End Groups • Each cellulose chain has 1 reducing end group at the C1 position of the terminal glucopyranose unit • The C4 position of the other terminal is not reducing. • Does the reducing end mutarotate? • In fibers, probably not because of hydrogen bonding, etc. • In solution, probably Notes PSE 406: Lecture 5

  6. Cellulose: Molecular Weight Degree of Polymerization of Cellulose molecular weight of cellulose DP = molecular weight of one glucose unit • Determination of molecular weight requires isolation and solubilization of cellulose • Isolation procedures will modify (reduce) molecular weight • Various modification procedures used for isolation • Derivitize with a variety of agents • Metal complexes • Pulping • Solvent systems PSE 406: Lecture 5

  7. Degree of Polymerization Notes PSE 406: Lecture 5

  8. Carbons 6 x 12 = 72 Oxygen 6 x 16 = 96 Hydrogen 12 x 1 = 12 180 g/mole Molecular Weight Determination • Determination of the molecular weight of the glucose molecule on the left is quite simple. • Simply count all of the atoms and add up the molecular weight. PSE 406: Lecture 5

  9. 666g/mole 342g/mole 180g/mole 504g/mole Molecular Weight of Mixtures • What if you have a mixture of 4 different chemicals and refer to it as a single compound like cellulose. What is the molecular weight? PSE 406: Lecture 5

  10. Number Average Molecular Weight (Mn) weight NxMx = Mn= # molecules Nx Molecular Weight of Mixtures • The simple answer to to question of molecular weight of mixtures is that you use an average of the molecular weights. This is known as the number average molecular weight. • Although this gives a number which is usable, it doesn’t completely describe the system. This is because you can obtain the same number average molecular weight with completely different mixtures. For example, a sample of all medium sized molecules and a mixtures of big and little molecules could give the same value. PSE 406: Lecture 5

  11. Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) CxMx NxMx)(Mx)  NxMx2 = = Mw = Cx NxMx NxMx Molecular Weight Equations • The second method for determining molecular weight is the weight average method. This method gives values which are influenced by the amount of larger molecules. This equation is developed from the number average equation by replacing the number of molecules Nx by the weight of the molecules Cx. For examples on calculating molecular weight, see the end of this lecture. PSE 406: Lecture 5

  12. Polydispersity • Polydispersity is the ratio of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight. This value provides information on the distribution of molecular weights. Larger values indicate that you have a wide range of molecular weights while low values mean a narrow distribution. Polydispersity Polydispersity = Mw/Mn PSE 406: Lecture 5
