Abstract

The positions of continuous diffuse scattering streaks in electron diffraction patterns from oblique layer crystals isostructura l to monoclinic paraffins are predicted using the kinematical difference Fourier transform (DFT) model of Amoros and Amoros. However, indications of correlated chain motions are found as was seen in a bimolecular rectangular layer structure. This correlated chain “motion” and the large temperature factors used for the DFT calculation (which are inconsistent with X-ray crystal structure results) suggest the presence of point defects in the long chains pro­posed earlier by other workers.
