Abstract

The title compound, C18H14Cl10, 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 intermolecular interactions and molecules are separated by normal van der Waals distances.
