Abstract
Wide-line NMR spectra were obtained on a series of homologous normal long chain fatty acids: decanoic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and behenic as well as three isostructural unsaturated acids: elaidic,trans-5-eicosenoic and brassidic. Also included are NMR spectra of metastable forms of both the saturated and unsaturated acids. NMR parameters are correlated with carbon chain length, crystal long spacing and density. Polymorphic forms are distinguished on the basis of line width and second moment differences.
