摘要
Application of the continuous symmetry measure to several hundred crystals that contain benzene, dichloromethane, chloroform, and acetone shows that the probability of finding the structures of these molecules distorted decreases exponentially with the amount of symmetry lowering. The implications of this trend are discussed in terms of B3LYP/6-31G* calculations and Boltzmann population.
