Abstract
Abstract The available literature on the molecular dynamics of camphor is reviewed with the purpose of explaining some observable racemic modifications in terms of the cross-correlation matrix v (t) J T(O)>m. Here v is the molecular centre of mass velocity and J the molecular angular momentum in a moving frame of reference defined by the principal moments of inertia. For example, the observable pseudo-eutectic in the solid-state λ transition temperatures for various mixtures of R in S camphor may be used to provide direct information on the nature of v (t) J T(O)>m through the intermediacy of Grigolini's reduced model theory or using developments in computer simulation.
