Abstract
Ethyl stearate, C17HasCOOC2Hs, is monoclinic with a=5.59, b=7.40, c=57.1 ~ ; f l= l18 °. The cell contains 4 molecules and the space group is Aa. The molecules form sheets with the molecules tilting towards the end-group planes. The long chains are arranged in the orthorhombic packing 0 _L. The molecule is bent at the carboxyl group and the OC2H5 groups are roughly in an hexagonal packing and seem to be disordered or oscillating.
