Quasielastic neutron scattering data indicate that the hydrogen-bonded amid
e protons in the self-organising system 3,5-dimethylpyrazole undergo a shor
t-range hopping motion between two equivalent sites straddling the direct N
... H hydrogen-bond ads. The activation energy for this motion has been me
asured as being 1.7(1) kJmol(-1). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
