Abstract
A preferred conformation of the internally highly dynamic fluoromethane-trifluoromethane molecular complex results from the stabilization of the two subunits by three weak CH⋯F hydrogen bonds and electrostatic dipole-dipole interactions (see picture). The two subunits are not rigidly locked, but exhibit large amplitude motions by almost freely spinning around their symmetry axes as shown. (Chemical Equation Presented)
