Abstract
Single-crystal neutron diffraction studies indicated that the terminal methyl groups of aspirin and acetaminophen crystals demonstrated large librational or torsional motions as compared to other atoms. Herein, we report a study using density functional theory for understanding the Hellmann−Feynman forces and how the nuclear Fukui function may provide the underlying cause for the large disorders of the methyl group.
