Nah, carbon tetrachloride, aka tetrachloromethane, is dry cleaning fluid,

 

   Cl   |Cl-C-Cl   |   Cl

 

1,1,1 trichlorotrifluoroethane is this (other isomers exist):

 

   Cl F   |  |Cl-C--C-F   |  |   Cl F

 

Quite true that it's a banned ozone depleting CFC, though.

Got my fluoroethanes and chloromethanes mixed up it is also known as a refrigerant R-113 Freon, which is a lot shorter and easier to write and say.

Strangely enough its still on sale in the US despite it being an ozone depleting chemical, and proscibed by the Montreal Protocol in 1989.
