Abstract

The recently proposed crystal structure of 4-iodo-4′-nitrobiphenyl is here confirmed on the basis of experimental diffraction data on single crystals and powders of high crystallinity; a reinterpretation of the nature of the (faulted) material studied in the original paper is also presented.
