Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations were used to explore the distribution of linkages in coumaryl alcohol and coniferyl alcohol systems, including monomeric systems and monomers interacting with β-O4 dimers, respectively. Studying the interactions of two monolignols and the corresponding dimers sheds light on the preferred mechanism of reaction of the growing lignin polymer from the view of kinetic factors. The energy change upon association was quantified, and the distances between the centers of mass of different molecules, and the relative orientations between the phenol groups were calculated for all the systems. Using a cut-off threshold of 4 Å to indicate association leading to bond formation, it is concluded that the presence of the additional methoxy group on coniferyl alcohol assists in promoting interaction of the O4 group with the second moiety. Based on the computed data it is furthermore concluded that in aqueous solution, the most likely model of polymerization is that involving initial dimer formation, followed by dimer-dimer association.

The freeze etching technique is potentially useful for examining dilute solutions or suspensions of macromolecular materials. Quick freezing of aqueous solutions in Freon or propane at or near liquid nitrogen temperature produces relatively large ice crystals and these crystals may damage the structures to be examined. Cryoprotective agents may reduce damage to the specimem, hut their use often results in the formation of a different set of specimem artifacts.In a study of the structure of polyethylene oxide gels glycerol and sucrose were used as cryoprotective agents. The experiments reported here show some of the structures which can appear when these cryoprotective agents are used.Figure 1 shows a fractured surface of a frozen 25% aqueous solution of sucrose. The branches of dendritic ice crystals surrounded hy ice-sucrose eutectic can be seen. When this fractured surface is etched the ice in the dendrites sublimes giving the type of structure shown in Figure 2. The ice-sucrose eutectic etches much more slowly. It is the smooth continuous structural constituent surrounding the branches of the dendrites.
