1,1,2,2-Tetra­chloro-1,2-diphenyl­ethane

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₀Cl₄, possesses C_i symmetry and crystallizes with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The two phen­yl rings are antiperiplanar and inclined to one another by 180° by symmetry. The central C—C bond distance and the Cl—C—Cl bond angle [1.5887 (18) Å and 106.02 (7)°, respectively] are significantly different from ideal sp³ values. In the crystal, a supramolecular structure is achieved by soft parallel-displaced π–π stacking and C—H...π inter­molecular inter­actions.
