Glycine’s pH-Dependent Polymorphism: A Perspective from Self-Association in Solution

Junbo Gong, Huaping Mo, Mingtao Zhang, Tonglei Li, Weiwei Tang, Jingkang Wang

Glycine molecules in aqueous solutions between pH of 4 and 8 were found to form open, hydrogen-bonded dimers. Beyond the pH range, the self-association became trivial. The pH-dependent self-assembly may be responsible for the pH-dependent polymorphism.
