The title compound, C15Cl8O, was separated from the products
of a solvothermal reaction of metallic sodium and carbon tetrachloride in air in a pressured autoclave. The molecule is bisected by a crystallographic mirror plane and has essentially
C2vsymmetry.
Comment
Alkali metals and polyhalogenated alkanes under high pres-sure/temperature in an autoclave can undergo different reactions under different conditions and give different products, for example, diamond powders from CCl4(Liet al.,
1998), multi-wall carbon nanotubes and hollow spherical graphite from hexachlorobenzene (Jiang et al., 2000), and carbon concentric spheres (`onions') from hexachloropenta-diene (Liet al., 2001). Long-standing interest has been focused on the fabrication of fullerenes, and various techniques, such as high-voltage electric discharge in liquid (Huanget al., 1997) or vaporized (Xieet al., 2001) chloroform and CCl4, have been
used to generate and trap the intermediates of fullerenes. In such a process, we have isolated perchlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAHs), which can be used as building blocks for fullerenes, and also identi®ed a trace of C60and C70(Xieet
al., 2001). On the other hand, under solvothermal conditions, a series of perchlorinated fullerene fragments, such as C26H8Cl10
(Penget al., 2001) and C18Cl12O2(Penget al., 2004), have been
obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
We report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), a new perchlorinated compound, which was separated from the products of a solvothermal reaction. All bond lengths and angles in (I) are normal (Table 1). The molecule is bisected by a crystallographic mirror plane and has essentiallyC2vsymmetry.
Experimental
Metallic sodium (3.0 g) was added to carbon tetrachloride (25 ml) in a stainless-steel autoclave with a capacity of 50 ml. The autoclave was heated to 673 K, maintained at that temperature for 40 h and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The resulting dark powder was
washed with water several times and dried in a vacuum at room temperature. The dried product was extracted with toluene/cyclo-hexane in a volume ratio of 1:1. The extract was separated by column chromatography on neutral alumina, using toluene/cyclohexane as eluant. Yellow crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from the yellow solution upon slow evaporation of the solvent in air. The product was analyzed by mass spectrometry. The molecular peak appeared at a mass/charge ratio of 480. The isotopic distribution pattern of chlorine shows that the molecule contains eight Cl atoms.

Special details
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
