Neutron powder diffraction patterns were measured for the ordered alpha-phase and the disordered beta-phase of deuterated methanol. The structure of the alpha-phase at 160K is in agreement with that found earlier at 15K. A complete refinement of the structure of the beta-phase at 170 K was also carried out. The space groups are alpha-P2(1)2(1)2(1) and beta-Cmcm. For the disordered phase, the thermal parameters indicate that the molecules are localized rather than being in free rotation. A transformation matrix was found that relates the unit cells of the two phases. The transition involves mainly the large-angle rotation of molecules in a plane. In a second experiment, the alpha- to beta-phase transition in both deuterated and undeuterated solid methanol was examined using Raman spectroscopy and a metastable phase was produced, for the undeutered sample, by rapid quenching through the phase transition. Only two modes of the methyl groups in this metastable phase differ from the internal modes of the stable alpha-phase. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
