Abstract

A ‘perturbed crystal' model for short-range order provides quantitative agreement between observed and calculated neutron diffraction intensities from carbon tetrachloride and deuterochloroform. The nearest neighbour arrangement in CCl 4 is based on a cubic close packed structure and lies close to a minimum in the calculated intermolecular potential energy.
