S. Bresson et al., The particular behavior of the cholesteryl acetate by Raman spectroscopy studies in the spectral range 1700-1780 cm(-1), MATER CH PH, 64(1), 2000, pp. 66-69
Structural properties of the cholesteryl acetate have been investigated by
Raman spectroscopy. In this work, we present Raman spectroscopy studies of
the C=O stretching mode for this eater of cholesterol in the crystalline an
d isotropic liquid phases. Our interpretation of the structural organizatio
n is compared with some semi-empirical quantum calculations. A hypothesis i
s suggested in order to explain the difference between our Raman spectrosco
py investigations and the X-ray results. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All
