The study of the temperature-dependent Raman spectra of n -alkanes from the solid through melting and in the melt phase reveals that short intermolecular correlation can occur in the melt forming at T m and just above T m a sizable concentration of extended trans C−C bonds sequences. The mean length of these trans sequences is not less than approximately 5 units. The implications of these observations regarding the mechanism of crystallization of n -alkanes are discussed.
