Abstract
Abstract Molecular conformation of butanenitrile in gas, liquid, glass, and crystalline states was studied to clarify the cause of the stability of its glass state against crystallization. The crystal comprises gauche molecules. However, the trans and gauche conformations have energies very close to each other, with an in-between energy barrier that cannot be surmounted at low temperatures. The multiple conformation that exists in gas and liquid is frozen in the glass, keeping the glass of butanenitrile in the disordered state even at temperatures as high as 100 K.
