Abstract
Geometry consistent with C-Cl ...pi(Ar) and C-Cl ... ...pi (Cp) intera ctions is shown to occur from a survey of structures in the Cambridge Structural Database. The C-Cl ...pi(Ar) and C-Cl ...pi(Cp) angles vary between about 90 degrees to 180 degrees. These angles are more nearly linear as the perpendicular distance of the chlorine atom from the pi -system decreases. Many of the interactions are of the 'edge' rather t han the centroid type.
