Abstract
Recent measurements of the three partial structure factors of molten cuprous chloride by neutron diffraction Page and Mika (1971) have been reinterpreted in terms of a liquid consisting of CuCl molecules with internuclear separation of 2.3 AA and an internal vibration frequency greater than 400 cm-1. The assumption of a plasma-like distribution of itinerant copper ions is shown to be unnecessary. It is suggested that the molecule be searched for by inelastic neutron scattering, by neutron diffraction at both high and low momentum transfer, by spectroscopy and by nuclear magnetic resonance.Keywords
