Abstract
The proton magnetic resonance spectra with natural abundance ^13^C satellites of p‐chlorotoluene in isotropic as well as in oriented solvents are analyzed. The indirect CH and HH couplings are determined from the isotropic sample and one bond ^13^C isotope effects on the proton chemical shifts are measured. The direct couplings derived from the oriented samples are corrected for harmonic vibration and used to determine the molecular r~α~ structure with a 6‐fold hindering potential for the methl group. The resulting CH and CC bond lengths have errors which are smaller than 0.002Å. They deviate from the unsubstituted benzene molecule by between −1.1 and −0.5% for the CH and between +0.3 and +0.5% for the CC distances. It is not possible to obtain conclusive information about the hindering potential.

## 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.
