Abstract
The crystal structure of phase III of chloroiodomethane-d2 was determi ned at 13 K using Rietveld refinement of neutron powder profiles. The space group is Pnma (D2h16) and there are four molecules in its orthor hombic unit cell with dimensions a = 6.383(4) angstrom, b = 6.706(1) a ngstrom and c = 8.867(4) angstrom. The molecules form a 'herringbone' pattern in layers perpendicular to the b axis, similar to that in the halogen and the hydrogen halides crystals.
