This thesis records the work
carried out on the crystal structures of
2:13-Benzfluoranthene and acenaphthene. The
structure of the first of these had to be
completely determined, whereas in the case of the
second structure, only the z parameters had to
be determined, the x and y coordinates needing
only refinement.
Both these structures were refined
to quite high accuracy. In one case low
temperature data was used, and in the other
Geiger counter measurements at room temperature
were employed for one zone of reflections, to
increase the reliability of the results
