Neopentane conformation

Figure 1. Top row staggered conformation of ethane row B the three conformers of -butane (only carbon atoms are shown in this and subsequent drawings) row C the four orientations of vectors (grid coordinates a-d) around the tetrahedral central carbon atom of neopentane row D one of the chiral gauche rotamers, and the achiral anti rotamer of -butane row E chair-cyclohexane, and its Cartesian coordinates X, y, z.
