Abstract
Two crystal structures proposed for the low density (LD) methyl chloride monolayer were studied. The configuration proposed by Morishige, Tajima, Kittaka, Clarke and Thomas was found to be lower in energy than an alternative structure proposed by Shirazi and Knorr. The first-order melting transition of the monolayer crystal was found to occur at about 90Â K, in qualitative agreement with experiments. Above the melting point, short-range orientational order within the LD methyl chloride fluid phase was found.
