Abstract The tunnelling and torsional motions of methyl groups in lithium acetate dihydrate (CH3COOLi·2H2O) have been studied in detail by incoherent inelastic neutron scattering. The results are interpreted by a model of pairs of methyl groups performing a coupled tunnelling motion. The strength of the coupling term is estimated to be about twice as strong as the threefold hindering barrier for the single particle motion.
