Reverse Monte Carlo modelling of isotopic substitution neutron diffraction data for molten CuBr (D Allen and R A Howe 1992 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 4 6029) is used to show that a flat partial radial distribution function is a possible numerical solution, but not a possible physical solution. The best model derived is a close-packed liquid of ions within which ions occupy approximately tetrahedral interstices. This structure is a natural continuation of trends as a function of temperature within the crystalline -phase and the fast-ion-conducting and -phases.
