Abstract
Slightly attractive: The attractive and anisotropic nature of the ClCl interaction in C(6)Cl(6) is experimentally demonstrated from an expansion of the electron density rho(r) around the chlorine nuclei. The interaction is explained in a model in which there is a bonding attraction involving electron-deficient (see picture, blue) and electron-rich (red) regions of adjacent Cl atoms.Entities:
