In the title thioether dihydrate, C18H10Cl2N2S·2H2O, the S-bound quinolinyl residues are almost orthogonal, forming a dihedral angle of 72.36 (4)°. In the crystal, the four water molecules are connected via an eight-membered {⋯OH}4 synthon with each of the four pendent water H atoms hydrogen bonded to a pyridine N atom to stabilize a three-dimensional architecture.

A modification of a published procedure was adopted (Natarajan et al., 2008). A solution of 4,7-dichloroquinoline (0.5 g) in EtOH (20 ml) was heated to 323 K. Thiourea (0.20 g.) was added and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. and then cooled to room temperature. The white solid was filtered off and was extracted into 0.2 M NaOH solution. The precipitate, bis(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)sulfide, was collected and recrystallized from EtOH as the dihydrate; M.pt. 436–439 K; lit. M.pt: 439–440 K (Surrey, 1948).
The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.95 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The O—H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with a distance restraint of O—H = 0.84±0.01 Å and with H···H = 1.39±0.03 Å; their Uiso values were constrained to 1.5Ueq(O).
Interest in the title compound, bis(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)sulfide, crystallized as a dihydrate, rests with the biological activity of related quinoline derivatives, in particular against chloroquine-resistant malaria (Natarajan et al., 2008).
In (I), Fig. 1, the dihedral angle between the two quinolinyl residues [r.m.s. deviation for the 10 atoms of the N1- and N2-systems = 0.018 and 0.011 Å, respectively] of 72.36 (4)° indicates an almost orthogonal relationship.
The water molecules play a pivotal role in stabilizing the

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Interest in the title compound, bis(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)sulfide, crystallized as a dihydrate, rests with the biological activity of related quinoline derivatives, in particular against chloroquine-resistant malaria (Natarajan et al., 2008).
In (I), Fig. 1, the dihedral angle between the two quinolinyl residues [r.m.s. deviation for the 10 atoms of the N1- and N2-systems = 0.018 and 0.011 Å, respectively] of 72.36 (4)° indicates an almost orthogonal relationship.
The water molecules play a pivotal role in stabilizing the crystal structure, forming hydrogen bonds to each other and to the quinolinyl-N atoms, Table 1. The water···water interactions each to eight-membered {···OH}4 synthons with each pendent water-H atom hydrogen bonded to a quinolinyl-N atom to stabilize a three-dimensional architecture, Fig. 2.
