An analysis of the observed frequencies of the Raman‐active longitudinal acoustic mode (LAM) bands of room‐temperature crystalline n‐alkanes in the chain‐length range C33 to C246 indicates that, as the chains become longer, there is a significant decrease in interlayer interaction, this interaction being measured by the vibrational coupling between the ends of chains in adjoining layers. This conclusion is based mainly on LAM measurements on n‐alkanes longer than 100 carbons that have recently become available. In the present analysis, the n‐alkane crystals are modeled as collinear monatomic chains having end‐to‐end interactions to simulate interlayer interaction. One intrachain force constant (F) and one interchain coupling force constant (f ) were evaluated from the observed frequencies of the LAM‐1 and LAM‐3 bands for each of seven n‐alkanes: C48, C62, C70, C72, C94, C150, and C192. As expected, the values found for F are essentially independent of chain length. However, the values of f were found to d...
