X-Ray crystallography is nowadays an accurate and rapid method of determining conformation in the crystal lattice, which conformation usually corresponds to the preferred conformation in solution.
More Quotes from Derek Harold Richard Barton:
There was an enormous literature of stereochemical fact which had not been interpreted properly in its three-dimensional aspects.Derek Harold Richard Barton
In general the preferred conformation in the crystalline state is that which would be predicted by the principles of conformational analysis.
