Abstract
X-ray and magnetic resonance studies of single crystals of 1,1-cyclopentanedi-carboxylic acid and the cyclopentyl-1-carboxylic acid radical indicate that at room temperature the radical undergoes pseudorotation. The five-membered ring of the molecule is disordered probably also as a result of pseudorotation.
