The activation parameters for the rotation of the dichloromethyl groups in the two conformations of α,α,α′,α′,α″,α″,2,4,6-nonachloromesitylene are reported for solutions in toluene-d8 and in methylene chloride. In addition, free energies of activation are given for solutions in bromochloromethane, tri-chloroethylene, and in carbon disulfide. The free energies of activation are lower in the toluene solution than in the other solutions. The entropies of activation are near zero, perhaps slightly negative. The symmetrical conformation is more stable than the unsymmetrical one in all the solvents.

Rotation by π radians about the sp2–sp3 carbon–carbon bond of the dichloromethyl group in α,α,2,3,6-pentachlorotoluene interconverts the two conformations which are characterized by coplanarity of the aromatic ring with the C—H bond of the sidechain. The ring protons undergo effective nonmutual exchange during this rotation. The rate of rotation as a function of temperature is extracted by line-shape fitting of the ring p.m.r. spectra. The rotation is characterized by a negative entropy of activation. The free energy difference between the two conformations is 50 ± 20 cal/mol at 240 °K.
