At what chain length do unbranched alkanes prefer folded conformations?

Jason N. Byrd, Rodney Bartlett, John A Montgomery

Short unbranched alkanes are known to prefer linear conformations, while long unbranched alkanes are folded. It is not known with certainty at what chain length the linear conforma…
