A hydrogen-bonded three-component complex: bis­(di­cyclo­hexyl­ammonium) 2,4-di­chloro­phenolate 2,4,6-tri­chloro­phenolate 2,4-di­chloro­phenol

Three different achiral components, dicyclohexylammonium cations, 2,4,6-trichlorophenolate anions and H-atom-bridged 2,4-dichlorophenolate/2,4-dichlorophenol units, are held together by O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a chiral hydrogen-bonded pentameric ring. A helical cylinder is established by the packing of the chiral hydrogen-bonded rings along the 4₁ screw axis.
