The x‐ray structure analysis of a single crystal of the β ‐ form of 2‐11‐bromoundecanoyl‐l, 1 ‐ dicaprin has revealed an arrangement of carbon atom chains within a molecular layer that is identical to that found in the β‐form monoacid triglycerides. However the packing of the molec‐ular layers within the crystal lattice is sub‐stantially different because of the unequal fatty acid chain‐lengths in the symmetrical diacid triglyceride of this investigation. Insufficient diffraction data owing to difficulty in preparing crystals of adequate size prohibits computation of precise interatomic distances and angles for this triglyceride.
