Abstract
The X-ray structures and proton and carbon-13 NMR spectra have been ob tained for two dicyclohexyl esters and one tricyclohexyl ester: namely , di-2-methylcyclohexylsuccinate (D2MCS), dicyclohexyl-3,4-furandicarb oxylate (DCFDC) and tricyclohexyl-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (TCPTC). These esters are models for high-traction fluids. It was shown that t he molecular modelling calculations we performed (on DCFDC and TCPTC) are not adequate for determining the minimum energy configuration of t he compounds investigated.
