{}'''Tetrachloroethylene''' (also known as '''perchloroethylene''', '''perc''', or '''PERC''')is a chlorocarbon with the formula Cl2C=CCl2. Similar in structure to chloroform and chloral hydrate, it has similar GABAnergic effects orally, but is a potent anesthetic upon inhalation.

Tetrachloroethylene is an atypical [[psychoactive class::dissociative]] substance that is found in the form of an volatile liquid that can be inhaled off a cloth surface. The exact mechanism of action of PERC is unknown, but it is thought to have an effect on [[GABA]] and [[NMDA receptor antagonist|NMDA]] [[receptors]] in the brain.
