Raman and infrared spectra of solid benzyl alcohol and two partially deuterated homologues are reported for the first time. The internal vibrational modes and lattice modes of benzyl alcohol are assigned on the basis of isotopic wavenumber shifts. The spectra of solid benzyl alcohol at low temperatures are shown to be consistent with an ordered non‐centrosymmetric structure, with at least four molecules in the unit cell.
