Summary

The anisotropy of lattice strain in the crystals of DL-serine (P21/n) on cooling down to 100 K and with increasing hydrostatic pressure up to 8.6 GPa was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In contrast to L-serine undergoing pressure-induced phase transitions at about 5 and 8 GPa, no phase transitions were observed in DL-serine at least up to 8.6 GPa (the highest pressure reached in the experiment). The anisotropy of strain in DL-serine on cooling was shown to be radically different from that with increasing pressure. The response of the crystal structure of DL-serine to cooling and to increasing pressure was considerably different from that of L-serine.
