Figure 7
(a) View along a of the infinite chains of CD3 rotors parallel to b (zigzag lines) or parallel to a (circles). The unit cell is outlined. (b) View along c of two chains. Numbers in parentheses refer to the distances between methyl groups in Table 5. Thick and thin dots correspond to short and long distances, respectively. Dotted circles emphasize possible coupling with rotors in the next layer (z ≃ 0.7) above, while dotted squares indicate possible coupling with rotors in the next layer (z ≃ 0.3) below. |
