Abstract
X‐ray investigations performed on the rotator phases of n alkanes CnH2n+1 with 26≤n≤34 prove that their structures are different from those exhibited by lower‐numbered compounds. Two kinds of phases with monoclinic and triclinic symmetries are encountered both with the molecules tilted with respect to the layer plane. The interlayer stacking modes are compared to those found in thermotropic liquid crystals.Keywords
