Deviations from the normal bonding behaviour add to our understanding of bonding models and inform computer simulations. Chlorotrinitromethane has an extremely short carbon–chlorine bond and its solid-state structure has now been determined. Using a combination of crystallography and computation, its intra- and intermolecular interactions have also been studied.
