Abstract: In the title compound, C₆H₆Cl₂N₂, intramolecular N-HCl and C-HCl contacts generate five-membered rings, producing S(5) ring motifs. Pairs of intermolecular N-HN hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules into dimers with R²₂(8) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, these dimers are connected by N-HCl interactions and are packed into columns.
