Abstract
The theory of Stejskal and Gutowsky, frequently used to explain the non-Arrhenius behaviour of log v against 1 T for rotating methyl groups has been shown to be inconsistent with the published data. An alternative explanation of this phenomenon in terms of a potential which is not purely three-fold is offered. Recent experimental and theoretical developments in the studies of tunnelling frequencies of rotating methyl groups at low temperatures are presented.
