Methylcyclopentane, C 6 H 12 , a liquid at room temperature, was studied as part of a project to develop a computer‐controlled low‐temperature crystal‐growing device. A single crystal was obtained at 115 K. The ring has an envelope conformation, with a pseudo‐equatorial methyl substituent on the flap atom.
