30. Unfortunately, the definitions of Kolpak and Blackwell and Gardner and Blackwell are different from a structural point of view for the antiparallel structures. We adhered to the definition of Kolpak and Blackwell, and consequently, our Iβa2 structure is Gardner and Blackwell's al structure and vice versa. The reason we did this is that only in such a way can the similarity between the IIa2 and Iβa2 structures be seen.
31. From the diffraction studies it is quite evident that the hydroxymethyl groups must either be in a gt or tg position.
32. Iβ stands for the cellulose Iβ unit cell; p1 for the p1 packing mode; and tg/tg for the conformation of the hydroxymethyl groups in the origin and center chains, respectively.
33. The definition for up and down depends on the choice of the a- and b-axes, which unfortunately is different for the Gardner and Woodcock structures. What in Woodcock's case is an up structure is the down structure of Gardner.
