Abstract

Linear-dichroic infrared spectra (IR-LD) of 3-ethoxy-4-(N-norcodeino-)cyclobutene-1,2-dione (1) and codeine dihydrogenphosphate (Codeinum phosphoricum) (2), oriented as solid suspensions in nematic liquid crystals, have been measured. IR characteristic band assignments were made, and used in stereo-structural predictions. The results were compared with crystallographic structures of similar organic systems, and found to be in good agreement.
