Abstract
AROMATIC nitrosobenzenes are dimeric in the solid state, but the nature of the link between the two halves of the molecule is not known1. An attempt to solve the problem has been made using the methods of X-ray analysis on crystals of para-chloro- and para-bromo-nitrosobenzene. The chlorine or bromine atom was introduced to make possible the solution of the structure by the heavy-atom method.
