1,14-Dibromotetradecane

K. Uno and N. Nakamura

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₄H₂₈Br₂, the molecule is centrosymmetric and the molecular skeleton, including both terminal Br atoms, has an all-trans conformation. In the crystal structure, the molecules form layers in which the long axes of the molecules are inclined with respect to the layers. The molecules are arranged in a zigzag manner in the neighboring layers, making a herring-bone motif just as in the tilt-smectic C phase of liquid crystals.
