N. Nakamura and H. Shimizu

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₃₂Cl₂, the molecule is centrosymmetric and the molecular skeleton including both terminal Cl atoms has an all-trans conformation. The molecules form layers with a thickness of c/2. These features are similar to the tilt smectic C phase of liquid crystals.
