| Abstract: | Abstract Infrared and Raman spectra were obtained for 4,4-dimethylheptane and were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate calculations. It was shown that this compound exists in three conformations. Force constant values transferred from dimethylpentanes resulted in an overall average difference between observed and calculated wavenumbers of 4.5 cm?1 for the three conformers. |
