A model, which assumed a mixture of anti and gauche
conformers in equal amounts and free rotation of the
methyl groups, gave the best fit to the experimental data.
It was not possible to determine the conformeric
composition because of the small relative scattering
from the torsion-sensitive distances.
The nozzle was at 74 °C.
