Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports a conformational analysis, by means of vibrational spectroscopy, of the conformationally disordered phases [that is, the liquid and high- temperature crystalline (mesomorphic) phases] of cC~~ H~~, c-CI6H3,, and cC~~ H~. From the observed spectra, the concentration of the lowest energy conformer in the liquid state has been estimated along with the concentration ratios of certain short sequences of trans ...
