Unique insights: The complexities of intermolecular interactions within biomolecular crystals (see figure, solid state thymine) are studied using a combination of spectroscopic and quantum‐chemical techniques. Insights into the fundamental nature of the various low‐frequency peaks is achieved and intra‐ vs intermolecular modes are distinguished.
