Abstract

An order-disorder phase transition has been studied in 2-Chloronaphthalene by both calorimetry and X-Ray diffraction. The transformation is reversible and does not destroy the single crystal. It extends over a large temperature range 253-309 K and can be considered as a “high order” transition: the high temperature form corresponds to a totally disordered phase and the low temperature form to a semi-ordered one.
