Low-frequency Raman spectra of odd α,ω-disubstituted n-alkanes

Low-Frequency Raman spectra of odd α,ω-dibromo- and α,ω-dihydroxy-n-alkanes were recorded. The longitudinal acoustic mode (LAM-1) frequencies were assigned by references to the published results for n-alkanes and even α,ω-disubstituted n-alkanes and also by taking account of the effects of end intermolecular forces and end-group masses by use of the chain model of Minoni and Zerbi.
