Locked-in methyl groups in 1,5-dimethylnaphthalene close to the melting point

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.1039/A702479G

Abstract
Single crystal neutron diffraction shows that the methyl group conformations in 1,5-dimethylnaphthalene are unchanged, with a hydrogen atom in the molecular plane, even as the crystal approaches the melting point.
