A clear picture of the conformations of isolated 2-deoxy-D-ribose was obtained using chirped pulse and Balle–Flygare Fourier-transform microwave spectrometers, both coupled with laser ablation sources. Two conformers of α-D-deoxyribopyranose and four of β-D-deoxyribopyranose were found on the basis of the spectroscopic rotational parameters and ab initio predictions. The substitution and effective structures of the most abundant conformer have been determined.
