A series of dimethyl-n-alkyl bonded phase sorbents ranging in length from C, to C,, have been prepared and studied by use of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Spectra have been produced for each of the bonded phases, and comparisons are made to the Corresponding silane reagents. By use of assignments reported for nonplanar conformations of normal alkanes, the supramolecular structure of these bonded phase ...
