✦ Synopsis
Quantum-mechanical calculations at the Hartree-Fock and MP2 level of theory using various basis sets predict that the C-C interatomic distances are nearly identical ( rc~3 = 1.396 A, rcJx4 = 1.398 A). This is at variance with the results of a combined electron diffraction and microwave study, which suggests that the Cz-C3 bond is longer (1.413 A) than the C'-C' bond ( I.384 A).

## Abstract It is demonstrated that in a case where neither the proton nor the natural‐abundance ^13^C‐satellite spectra of a partially oriented molecule carry enough structural information, one can determine the entire molecular geometry by the combined use of several liquid crystals as solvents.
