Abstract

X-ray diffraction patterns of liquid CCl4 at 27°C have been obtained by both the photographic and G-M counter methods. The corrected patterns were subjected to a Fourier analysis to obtain the electron density distribution function for the liquid. In addition to showing the C—Cl and Cl—Cl distances within the molecule, the intermolecular distances and concentrations are indicated as well. The latent heat of vaporization has been calculated from the distribution function and found to be in reasonably good agreement with the measured value.
