摘要：

Ethane, propane and n-butane form layer structures in the solid state, By describing their molecular geometries as a rectangle, an irregular pentagon and an irregular hexagon, respectively, it is shown here that propane cannot close-pack like its congeners. The melting point of propane is therefore lower than expected in the series.
