✦ Synopsis

A molecular dynamics study of the local order in liquid chlorine is presented. The orientational correlations, found in the first coordination shell, vanish in the next shells. The role played by some microscopic configurations, characterized by different correlation ranges, is investigated. It is found that the Egelstaff, Page and Powles correlation model, if applied to each microscopic configuration, describes welI the relation between atomic and centre-centre structure factors in the first coordination shell.
