29. It was argued that that the methyl hyperconjugation is not a function of the relative orientation of individual C-H bonds and the empty orbital (Hoffmann, R.; Radom, L.; Pople, J. A.; Schleyer, P. v. R.; Hehre, W. J.; Salem, L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1972, 94, 6221.) This representation is in agreement with the low rotational barrier calculated for the 2-propyl cation, but does not explain why in the "chiral" 2-propyl cation the properly oriented C-H bonds are much longer than the other methyl C-H bonds (ref 16).
