The crystal structure of aniline hydrochloride has been determined by the X-ray method. The space group is Cc, with cell dimensions a = 15.84 ± 0.03, b = 5.33 ± 0.03, c = 8.58 ± 0.03A.,
= 101° ± 30'.
exp = 1.210, while that required for four molecules per unit cell is 1.211. X-ray intensities were obtained from Weissenberg photographs taken of the zero levels about [a], [b] and [c]. The trial structure was found by means of a Patterson projection along [b], and this was refined by means of successive two-dimensional Fourier syntheses. The structure is ionic, each nitrogen atom being equidistant at 3.17 A. from three chlorine ions. The dimensions of the benzene ring are normal, but the C-N bond is considerably shorter (1.35 A.) than that given by the sum of the atomic radii (1.47 A.).
