Abstract
The splitting of the methylene deformation frequencies in crystals of n-paraffins is described in terms of interaction between nearest-neighbor molecules On the basis of a simplified model, the order of magnitude of the splitting may be accounted for Polarization behavior and changes occurring upon heating, cooling, and deuteration are described in terms of this model.Keywords
