Quantum rotor tunnelling in methyl ethyl ketone and acetophenone studied using field-cycling NMR techniques

In the solid state the rotation of a methyl group is hindered by a potential barrier and at low temperature the rotational motion is characterised by quantum tunnelling. The Pauli Exclusion Principle imposes constraints on the allowable eigenstates of the methyl rotor and leads to a combination of s...
