An investigation of the infrared spectra of single crystals of hexadecanoic, octadecanoic and docosanoic acids has provided evidence for the existence of a new crystal form. In the present paper the infrared spectrum of the new form of hexadecanoic acid is compared with the spectra of the A-, B-and C-forms. Some conclusions about the structure of the new form are presented.Introduction The fatty acids crystallize in a variety of forms. Thus, two triclinic and two monoclinic forms are known for several normal carboxylic acids with an even number of carbon atoms (yon Sydow, 1956a). In a recent investigation of the infrared spectra of single crystals of fatty acids we have obtained evidence for the existence of a new crystal form of hexadecanoic, oetadecanoic and docosanoic acids. The evidence has been presented in detail for octadecanoic acid (Holland & Nielsen, 1962b). In the present paper the infrared spectrum of the new form of hexadecanoic acid will be presented and compared with the spectra of the previously known A-, B-, and C-forms. It is hoped that the existence of the new crystal form may soon be confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies and that its structure may be determined in detail.
