Abstract
THE X-ray photograph of this cubic crystal powder shows an unexpected small number of interference lines (Fig. 1). The unit cell of dimensions (4·06 A.)3 contains but half a molecule. A similar fact, n = 13/, was found in the case of CdBr21; here the small pseudoperiod as indicated by the X-rays was explained by a mode of compilation of the atomic layers, in which the CdI2 and the CdCl2 type follow in haphazard succession.
