The crystal structure of bromoform has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method at about -20 °C. There are two molecules per cell in the structure with hexagonal space group P63 (C6). Unit-cell constants are a= 6"335 + 0"003 and c= 7.214+ 0-003 /~,. The structure is statistically disordered, with molecules oriented upwards and downwards along the c axis at random. The order parameter w was found to be nearly ½ and hence the symmetry of the crystal can approximately be represented by P63/m (C26~).The structure is isomorphous with that of iodoform, while it is quite different from that of chloroform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
