Abstract

Three of the most frequently detected toxaphene components in environmental samples are the chlorobornanes 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,6-endo,8b,8c,10a,10b-octachlorobornane (Parlar No. 26); 2-exo,3-endo,5-exo,6-endo,8b,8c,9c,10a,10b-nonachlorobornane (Parlar No. 50), and 2,2,5,5,8b,8c,9c,10a,10b-nonachlorobornane (Parlar No. 62), whose structures could not be completely elucidated by spectroscopical methods. This paper now describes the X-ray structure analysis of the three compounds and presents their exact crystal structure.
