Abstract
Abstract Infrared and Raman spectra of liquid and solid cyclopentanone have been studied. Spectroscopic evidence shows that the molecule undergoes a solid state phase transition at 168°K. The crystalline form stable below this temperature is ordered and close-packed; its infrared and Raman spectra have been interpreted assuming that cyclopentanone crystallizes in the C 5 2h or C 1 1 centrosymmetric space groups.
