48. 29 but is unlikely to be a significant factor here for two reasons. First, conformational disorder tends to reduce the anisotropy in the polarizability of the hydrocarbon chains. The headgroup is believed to be polymer-like and hence optically isotropic. Second, the anisotropy of the layer disappears for chains tilted at the magic angle of 54°. Assuming that the monolayers have a density close to that of a liquid hydrocarbon, the average chain tilts fall within about 15° of the magic angle.
