Abstract
Cellulose may be described as a poly-alcohol that is insoluble in water. The insolubility is due to the formation of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups. The association complex thus formed has, as a rule, a crystalline structure with a monoclinic unit cell, containing four anhydroglucose units. The space group is usually assumed to be P 2. The glucopyranose rings are joined in the b-axis direction by glucosidic valence bonds so that the unit cell contains 2 cellobiose units, the rings being essentially parallel to the (001)-plane. The chains contained in the (002)-plane are displaced so that an anhydroglucose ring is situated approximately at the centre of the cell and all the chains in this plane are assumed to be running in the opposite direction to those contained in the adjacent (001)-planes.
