Abstract

The symmetrical β−conformer of endosulfan has the identical chemical composition of the asymmetrical α−conformer, and both have very different melting/boiling points. The α− and β−isomer however have markedly different Raman spectra at each of 50°C, 75°C and 100°C. Moreover, the commercially available Raman spectra of the 60/40 (α−/β−) mixture at the same temperatures is discrete from either a- and b-isomer alone. Previous research demonstrated that at a- boiling point 110°C, β−conformer partially converts to α−. DSC curves of mixtures suggest thermal interactions and conformational changes occurs in BOTH α− and β−isomer at temperatures even 60°C lower than the liquid/gas phase transition.
