The crystal structures of chitosan acid salts were studied by X-ray diffraction measurements on a fiber diagram and a new procedure to obtain an anhydrous polymorph of chitosan was found. The salts prepared by immersing a chitosan into a mixture of acid solution and isopropanol were classified into two types (Types I and II) depending on their conformation. Molecular conformation of the Type I salt retains the extended 2-fold helical structure of the original chitosan, but that of Type II salt is a twisted 2-fold helix. All the Type II salts changed to the anhydrous Annealed polymorph of chitosan when soaking in 75% aqueous isopropanol, but when the Type I salts were immersed in the solution, they returned to the hydrated Tendon polymorph which is that of the original chitosan. The strange transformation observed in Type II salt may be related to the stability of the molecular conformation of chitosan in the salt.
