Abstract
© 2018 American Chemical Society. An asymmetric mechanism for correlated motion occurring in noninteracting pairs of adjacent orthogonal 1,4-bis(carboxyethynyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) rotators 1 in the solid state is unraveled and shown to play an important role in understanding the dynamics in the crystalline rotor, Bu4N+[1−]·H2O. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and calculation of rotor− rotor interaction energies combined with variable-temperature, variable-field 1H spin−lattice relaxation experiments led to the identification and microscopic rationalization of two distinct relaxation processes.
