Abstract
Abstract The molecular structure of benzene has been determined by combining the average distances obtained by the present electron diffraction study and the moments of inertia reported by Cabana et al. The following thermal average bond distances have been determined: r g (C-C) = 1.399 ± 0.001 A and r g (C-H) = 1.101 ± 0.005 A. The uncertainties represent the estimated limits of error. The C-H distance of this molecule is similar to vinyl C-H distances.
