Abstract
Unit cell dimensions and space groups of two modifications of B8Cl8 are described. The density measurements indicate that the formula hitherto represented as (BCl0.9)x is in best agreement with B8Cl8. Complete three‐dimensional x‐ray diffraction data of one of the modifications have been taken. The unit cell of this form is orthorhombic, of symmetry P212121 and four B8Cl8 molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a=13.64, b=7.85, and c=12.91 A.Keywords
