Conformational mobility and phase transitions in alkyloxybenzoate of cholesterol
The structural particularities of polymorphic modifications and cholesterol liquid crystal phase have been investigated by theoretical and experimental IR spectroscopy methods, The spectra were recorded in the interval of temperatures 293-523 K within the range of 600-3600 cm(-1). The frequencies of normal modes and intensities in the IR spectra have been calculated for the alkyloxybenzoate of cholesterol conformers, which may be realized under certain temperatures. Comparison of results of theoretical modelling and recorded spectra confirmed suggestion about conformational mobility basically defined with changing of steroid kennel orientation comparatively stayed part of molecule in the different phase state.
