Abstract
The interatomic distances and vibrational amplitudes projected on the lines connecting pairs of atoms at equilibrium have been determined for CH2CF2 and CF2CF2 by an objective procedure for analyzing electron diffraction photographs. Distances involving hydrogen atoms have been evaluated and the procedure for resolving radial distribution peaks involving more than one distance is illustrated. The effects on the accuracy of the method of various characteristics such as sample spread and multiple scattering have been analyzed.
