It has been found that dimethyl carbonate exists in the liquid phase as a conformational equilibrium mixture. The conformers differ by rotation about the C—O bonds. The enthalpy difference of the two conformers is found experimentally to be 2.6 ± 0.5 kcal/mol. Dimethyl carbonate crystallizes in contact with alkali halide windows as an oriented polycrystalline film, as shown by polarized infrared spectra.

The infrared spectra of dimethyl carbonate in the liquid and solid phases and the Raman spectrum of the liquid phase are reported. The evidence suggests that dimethyl carbonate exists as an equilibrium mixture of at least two conformers in the liquid state. An experimental value for the enthalpy difference of the two conformers of 2.6 ± 0.5 kcal/mol is obtained from the temperature dependency of the infrared spectrum.Dimethyl carbonate crystallizes as an oriented polycrystalline film and polarized infrared spectra of the solid have been obtained. These have been utilized, along with the liquid phase data to obtain an improved vibrational assignment. There appears to be a solid–solid phase change in dimethyl carbonate in the vicinity of 140 K, but the details of this change are not known.

The complete vibrational spectra of α-bromoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal and α-bromoacetaldehyde dimethyl s6 have been recorded on the pure liquids, and a tentative vibrational assignment has been proposed. The infrared spectra of both compounds in the crystal state have also been recorded at low temperatures. There is no apparent evidence of a conformational equilibrium in the liquid phase. The infrared spectra of three other acetals have been recorded, and the data from all of the compounds are discussed in terms of previously proposed group frequencies of acetals in both the infrared and Raman.
