Abstract: In the title compound, C 20 H 9 F 21 O 3 , a central sp 3 -hybridized carbon atom is decorated with three heptafluoro-2-methyloxy(cyclopent-1-ene) arms and a methyl group. The primary packing is determined by C—F...F—C interactions, forming [001] chains, which are consolidated via weaker C—F...F—C and C—H...F—C contacts. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to aid in the visualization of these various influences on the packing: this revealed that the largest contribution to the surface contacts arises from F...F interactions (53.5%), followed by F...H/H...F (34.5%) and F...C/C...F (7.1%).
