The review article summarizes the most relevant solid state structural and conformational
results obtained in the laboratories involved in Italy in the studies of synthetic and natural …

In this study, DFT calculations were employed to assess and contrast the structural,
electronic, and optical characteristics of five alanine crystal forms. The Perdew-Burke …

Cyclic, hydrogen-bonded dimers are shown to be the building blocks of α-glycine and of β-
alanine crystals by atomic force microscopy and surface X-ray diffraction experiments on …

We have observed and assigned the rotational spectrum of/3-alanine using our Stark-
modulated freeexpansion jet spectrometer. Two conformers of/3-alanine have been …

The vicinal proton− proton couplings of the dipolar form of β-alanine in water, alcohol−
water, and dimethyl sulfoxide− water solutions indicate little conformational preference and …

Friction hodographs contain all the information related to the intensity and symmetry of the
friction phenomenon. We show how an atomic force microscope can be used to collect …

Thin films of organic semiconductors are intensively studied in view of their exploitation in
modern electronic devices. Until now, few crystalline substrates have been used as clean …

In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, single crystal x‐ray analysis,
and solution conformational characterization of the cyclic tetrapeptide cyclo‐(l‐Pro‐γ‐Ala‐l …

This paper reports an experimental and theoretical study of the gas phase standard (p°= 0.1
MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, at T= 298.15 K, of α-alanine (DL) and β-alanine. The …

We report a novel 1: 1 cocrystal of β-alanine with dl-tartaric acid, C3H7NO2· C4H6O6,(II),
and three new molecular salts of dl-tartaric acid with β-alanine {3-azaniumylpropanoic acid …
