Combination of differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance observations made on the crystalline inclusion compound (IC) formed between polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF) and urea (U), together with their comparison to identical observations performed on bulk semicrystalline samples of PTHF, have permitted an analysis of the conformations, motions, and environments available to PTHF chains in both solid-state phases. The isolated PTHF chains occupying the narrow channels of the PTHF-U-IC are highly extended, though small rotational deviations averaging 24° from the nearly all trans, planar zig zag conformation of bulk crystalline PTHF chains produce some significant differences in their behaviors. PTHF chains in PTHF-U-IC possess much greater mobility than bulk crystalline PTHF chains as evidenced by C-13 spin lattice relaxation times, T1, 50 times shorter (1.5 s) than observed for bulk crystalline PTHF chains (75 s). FTIR observations are consistent with very little specific interaction between guest PTHF chains and host urea matrix molecules and result in similar spectra for bulk and IC PTHF, except for the presence of the CH2 rocking vibration band at 745 cm-1 observed for bulk PTHF. The absence of this band in the IC PTHF can be understood by considering the symmetry of the all trans, planar zig zag conformation of bulk crystalline PTHF chains, which prevents the CH2 rocking mode from coupling with skeletal stretching and bending modes as occurs in the nonplanar, helical PTHF chains in PTHF-U-IC. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
