The structure of molten FeCl{sub 3} at 320{sup degrees}C has been measured with neutron diffraction at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source. Results indicate that melting in FeCl{sub 3}is accompanied by a change in local structure from the octahedral environment of the Fe{sup 3{plus}} in the solid to an Fe{sub 2}Cl{sub 6} molecular liquid. This behavior is similar to that observed in AlCl{sub 3} and in contrast to that of YCl{sub 3} where an octahedral coordination is preserved on melting. 3 figs, 1 tab, 12 refs.
