Crystal Structure of ‘Gammexane’
Abstract
THE crystal structure of γ-benzenehexachloride, the insecticide `Gammexane', has been determined by X-ray analysis (Weissenberg diagram) in the usual way of trial and error, starting from Patterson data and supported by repeated Fourier syntheses. Cell dimensions: a = 8.5 A.; b = 10.3 A.; c = 13.9 A.; β = 121°. Space group P21/c; four molecules per cell.
