Figure 9
(a) View of the 80 K thermal expansion representation surface for propane, showing the alignment of the $[{\overline 1}01]$ plane corresponding with the pseudo-close-packed sheets in the structure, shown in (b). Arrows indicate the orientation of α₁ (blue) and α₂ (green) overlaid on the molecular packing, highlighting the proximity of the nearest-neighbour molecules along α₁.
