THE STRUCTURE OF LINEAR POLYMERS LOWER n- HYDROCARBONS

摘要

The crystal structures of n-octane, n-heptane, n-hexane, and n-pentane have been determined, using single crystal data, Cu-radiation. In the case of n-octane the structure have been refined in two projections by the method of least squares where¬as for n-hexane generalized projections have been used to deter¬mine the x-coordinates, the (yz)-projection being refined by least squares. So far the n-heptane and n-pentane structures have been studied in the (yz)-projection.
