Abstract
As the structure of the dinitrogen tetroxide molecule has recently been the subject of discussion1, it may be of interest to record the following measurements, obtained from an X-ray study of single crystals of this compound. Previous diffraction work has been recorded by Vegard2 and re-interpreted by Hendricks3, but as this was confined to powder specimens the evidence is not conclusive.
