Figure 1
An illustration of the T(s,a) conformation of the MMA molecule and the atom-numbering scheme. Note the change of conformation around the C—C* bond caused by replacement of carboxyl by an amide group. Arrows indicate CO/CβH dipole–dipole interactions. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 40% probability level and H atoms are drawn as spheres of arbitrary radii. |
