Abstract: | The Layer Structure of Cyameluric Chloride C6N7Cl3 A solid state reaction of cyanuric chloride (trichloro‐s‐triazine C3N3Cl3) with sodium dicyanamide (NaN(CN)2) yielded some yellow, plate‐like crystals of cyameluric chloride (trichloro‐s‐heptazine C6N7Cl3). The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction at 220 K and was solved in the monoclinic space group C 2/c (no. 15) with Z = 24, a = 2319.4(4) pm, b = 1348.8(1) pm, c = 2063.4(3) pm, β = 118.38(2)° and V = 5.680(1) nm3. In the structure, the molecules of C6N7Cl3 are forming layers parallel to the ab‐plane, which are separated from each other by a gap of approximately 300 pm. In each of these layers, the molecules seem to be arranged around pseudo‐threefold axes, showing an almost trigonal structure pattern. |
