    $\begingroup$ The picture quality is low, but maybe one of the C-C bonds is drawn incorrectly, too. Did you build a molecular model with a model kit? Try, and give the flow scheme next to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… a chance. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Where did you invent such a monstrosity? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It could be an adamantane derivative. I may be mistaken, but it should then have 3 mirror planes. I strongly advise building a model, either in a computer or with a kit. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In a correct sketch of this molecule, you immediately see that all chloride atoms lie in the mirror plane that is spanned by the two CC bonds that are furthest apart. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ M. C. Escher would have been proud of this picture. $\endgroup$
