Abstract:
The crystal structure of chlorofluoromethane, CH(2)ClF, has been determined at 100 and 30 K using indexing, packing considerations and Rietveld refinement of neutron powder profiles. There is only one phase, in monoclinic space group P2(1) and with two molecules in the unit cell occupying general positions. The structure has close packing in several directions and there are weak hydrogen bonds forming zigzag chains.
