Abstract
AbstractCrystallographic examination and computerized structural analysis of the X‐ray powder diagram of tritetracosanoin shows the molecule to be isomorphous with saturated triglyceride structures previously established. Cell dimensions are: a=13.1, b=5.30, c=58.9 Å; α=94, β=98, γ=99°. Space group is P1. The molecule is turned relative to the unit cell a‐axis likely because of acyl chain packing and end group plane interactions. Results indicate that the glycerol unit largely determines the lateral packing of saturated even membered triglycerides. The method of structure solving indicates that saturated triglycerides can be studied by computerized structural analysis.
