X-ray diffraction data for liquid propane near the triple and boiling points are presented. The data are analyzed using scattering factors for –CH3 and –CH2 groups which permit extraction of intermolecular structure and distribution functions for these carbon-centered sites. The radial distribution functions indicate a qualitative structural change in the liquid from the low to the high temperature states.
