The structure of p-dichlorobenzene has been determined by means of two electron-density projections. It is found that this compound is isostructural with p-dibromobenzene whose structure was previously determined by the authors. All the atoms of each molecule are in the same plane, the benzene ring is a plane regular hexagon of 1.40 A side, and the chlorine atoms are on the hexagon diagonal.
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.
