Abstract: 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 - stacking and C-H intermolecular interactions.
