title: 1,16-Diiodo-hexa-deca-ne.
abstract: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(16)H(32)I(2), is centrosymmetric and the mol-ecular skeleton, including both terminal I atoms, has an all-trans conformation. The mol-ecules form layers of thickness a. These features are similar to those of the smectic C phase of liquid crystals.
