%X The infrared spectra of methyl chloroformate and dimethyl carbonate in the vapour phase and as solutions in carbon disulphide and carbon tetrachloride have been obtained from 4000 to 400 cm-1 together with the Raman spectra of the liquids. The infrared band contours for both molecules are consistent with a cis configuration of the carboxylate group and the spectra may be interpreted satisfactorily on this basis.
