Abstract

Two-dimensional NMR methods allow a determination of the relative orientations of nearby molecules in polycrystalline and noncrystalline solids. We describe these methods and present applications to the determination of the crystal structures of two forms of polycrystalline methanol and to the investigation of short range molecular orientational ordering in methanol glass and in atactic PMMA.
