title: 2,4,6-Trichlorophenylisonitrile and 2,4,6-trichlorobenzonitrile
abstract: The molecular structures of the title compounds, 2,4, 6-trichlorophenylisonitrile (IUPAC name: 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl isocyanide), C(7)H(2)Cl(3)N, and 2,4,6-trichlorobenzonitrile, C(7)H(2)Cl(3)N, are normal. The two structures are not isomorphous, but do contain similar two-dimensional layers in which pairs of molecules are held together by pairs of Cl.CN [3.245 (3) A] or Cl.NC [3.153 (2) A] interactions. The two-dimensional isomorphism is lost through different layer-stacking modes.
