Molecular motion in solids has been the object of many studies in the field of physical chemistry of polymers , but dynamic processes in molecular crystals of organic and inorganic compounds are less well investigated. In fact, the average chemist is not aware of the fact that processes like internal rotation or ring inversion proceed in solids quite often with barriers which are not very different from those found for these types of internal motion in the liquid state. Thus, for the equatorial axial ring inversion of fluorocyclohexane values of 42.4 and 43.9 kJ mol have been measured in the liquid and the solid, respectively. The familiar thermal ellipsoids of individual atoms obtained from X-ray studies are qualitative indicators of molecular motion in the crystal, but a more quantitative study of such processes is only possible after appropriate solid state NMR techniques are applied.

FLORY, PALL J. (1910-1986). An American chemist who won the Nobel prize in 1974 for his work in polymer chemistry. He published extensive work tvn Ihe physical chemistry of polymers and macromolecules. He held many medals and awards. Flory received his doctorate from Ohio Slate University in 1924. He was the C. J. Wood professor of chemistry at Stanford University.
