A conformational study of cycloveratrilenes 3 and 4 by high resolution
NMR at low temperature for 3 and room temperature for 4 along with X-
ray crystallography is reported. From these experiments we found a dyn
amic process, where magnetic and topologic environment are exchanged b
y conformational variations through rotations. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scien
