title: 1,3,5-Tris(chloromethyl)benzene.
abstract: The title compound, C(9)H(9)Cl(3), is being used as a platform for new tripodal receptors. Two molecules make up the asymmetric unit; weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between methylene H atoms and the chlorine of an adjacent molecule. There are also C-H.pi interactions.
