Summary
-
1.
Goniometric measurements were carried out on polyhalobenzenes and their derivatives (15 compounds in all) having substantial steric hindrance in their molecules.
-
2.
The unit cell parameters, the space groups, and some other crystallochemical characteristics of these crystals were determined.
-
3.
2,6-Diiodo-4-nitroanisole was shown to be dimorphous. 4. The coordinates of the heavy atoms were determined for two of the substances, (3,4,5-trichloroaniline hydrochloride and 1,3,5-trichloro-2-nitrobenzene), and the full structure was determined for one of the substances (2-bromo-1,3,5-trichlorobenzene).
-
5.
From the substances studied, a selection was made of those showing the greatest promise for full structural analysis.
