Raman and far‐infrared spectra of the lattice vibrations of solid methanol in the ordered α‐phase at 20 K are presented and discussed in terms of the available crystallographic data. Spectra of the deuterated species, CH 3 OD and CD 3 OD, have also been recorded to facilitate the assignment of observed peaks. The spectroscopic data are compatible with a centrosymmetric monoclinic unit cell containing four molecules on general sites.
