Abstract
1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene crystallizes in space group $P2_{1}2_{1}2_{1} (D_{2}^{4})$ with four molecules per unit cell. The twelve librational modes are divided evenly among the four irreducible representations of factor group $D_{2}$, and are joined by the nine optical translatory vibrations which are distributed $3A+2B_{1}+2B_{2}+2B_{2}+2B_{3}$. These lattice modes are all Raman active and occur below $100 cm^{-1}$, permitting partial identification by single crystal laser Raman polarization data. The assignments are assisted by comparison with corresponding data secured for the isomorphic crystal 1,3,5-tribromobenzene. The temperature dependence of the optical modes is reported, and the relation to the chlorine nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrum of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene is discussed.
