The structure of liquid carbon tetrachloride has been studied by neutron diffraction. The theoretical basis of neutron diffraction from multiatomic liquids is discussed in terms of polyatomic and molecular assemblages. The data is analyzed using these models. The parameters obtained in this study agree with those obtained from x‐ray and electron diffraction.
