Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Internal rotations</bold>: Using a broadband chirped‐pulse and a cavity‐based microwave spectrometer, the delicate balance between intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions in the methyl lactate⋅⋅⋅NH₃ adduct was investigated (see picture). The adduct is a prototype lock‐and‐key system consisting of a lock with two "spinning" tops and a key which is also a spinning top itself.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1xprg502" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
