The crystal structure of the title compound was determined at 291 K: monoclinic, space group C^h-P21/n, Z = 4, a = 1693.2(1), 6 = 579.3(1), c = 1232.5(1) pm, and ß = 107.21 (1)°, R = 0.0415. A sharp decrease of of Cl NQR found at T> 270 K for the CC13 group is attributed to the reorientation of the group over a potential barrier of ca. 50 kJ/mol. Intermolecular interactions between the CC13 and the neighboring atoms seem to dominate the magnitude of the potential barrier. T{~1 of the 35 C1 NQR of the Cl atom on the benzene ring obeyed the T 2 law well in the range 80 < T/K <270, while at T>280 K it deviated from the T 2 law.
