Abstract
Abstract Infrared (500–2500 cm−1) spectra of cholesteryl alkyl carbonates (methyl, ethyl and oleyl) have been examined in the solid (cholesteryl methyl carbonate and cholesteryl ethyl carbonate) and liquid crystalline (cholesteryl oleyl carbonate) states. An attempt has been made to correlate the variation in the intensities and frequency shifts with the molecular structures. The shift in the carbonyl frequency in the case of cholesteryl oleyl carbonate may be correlated with the affect on the coplanarity with benzene ring.
