It is a covalent bond and can not transfer electrons, No holes in the valance ring to allow electrons to move.

Conduction of electricity requires holes in the molecular orbitals to allow an electron to jump from one "hole" to another. But TCM is electron-saturated, no holes. No holes, no current flow.

It has a symmetric distribution of charge and does not ionize, therefore there is no process of migration of cations or anions, or polar sides of a molecule to either electrode.
Note: also is called carbon tetracholoride, is highly toxic to the liver.
