Abstract

The title compound, C(18)H(14)Cl(10), is a decachlorinated commercial flame retardant. The structure determination confirms the relative stereochemistry. The central eight-membered ring is in a chair-type conformation. In the crystal structure, there are no significant inter-molecular inter-actions and mol-ecules are separated by normal van der Waals distances.
