Abstract

Relationships between molecular shape and its crystal packing are studied. The XRD crystal structure of macrocrystals and microcrystals of C6H5HgX, and their VDW packing analysis, suggest two isoenergetic packing models for racket-like molecules. One of them favoring the crystal growth, and the other more frequent forming microcrystalline aggregates.
