Abstract
The interpretation of the heat capacities of molecular crystals is discussed. The assumption is made that the lattice part of the molecular heat capacity can be represented by a single Debye function with the appropriate number of degrees of freedom. The reasons for supposing that this assumption is valid are considered, and it is shown that one can reasonably expect its validity except at temperatures low in comparison with the characteristic temperature θ of the Debye function. It is proposed to apply this point of view to the interpretation of the heat capacity curves of a number of molecules. The conversion of Cv to Cp is discussed for molecular lattices.
