J. Fayos et al., PACKING ANALYSIS OF RACKET-LIKE MOLECULES - C6H5MX (M=METAL, X=CL, BR, I) - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF MICROCRYSTALLINE C6H5HGCL BYXRD, Journal of crystallographic and spectroscopic research, 23(7), 1993, pp. 595-600
Relationships between molecular shape and its crystal packing are stud
ied. The XRD crystal structure of macrocrystals and microcrystals Of C
6H5HgX, and their VDW packing analysis, suggest two isoenergetic packi
ng models for racket-like molecules. One of them favoring the crystal
growth, and the other more frequent forming microcrystalline aggregate
