The crystal structure of tetradecanamide
The crystal structure of tetradecanamide is a scholarly work, published in 1955 in ''Acta Crystallographica''. The main subjects of the publication include chemistry, Crystal, crystallography, crystal structure, molecule, peptide synthesis, polyimide, monoclinic crystal system, group, noncovalent bonding, row, chain, materials science, and unit. Tetradecanamide, NI-I~.CO(CH2)12CH~, crystallizes in the monoclinic system with a 0 ----9-83±0.03,b 0 = 5.61±0.03,c o ----27-98±0.03/~, fl ----95.1°±0.5 °, and space group P21/a.The unit cell conrains 4 molecules.The structure has been determined by means of two-dimensional projections.The molecules were found to occur in the crystal as dimers, packed into rows extending in the b direction, with the paraffin chains inclined to 46 ° 40' from the b axis.The paraffin chains of adjacent rows are oppositely inclined, forming a crossed-chain structure.
