title: (E,E,E)-1,6-Bis(2,4-dichlorophenyl)hexa-1,3,5-triene.
abstract: The title molecule, C(18)H(12)Cl(4), lies about an inversion centre and the hexatriene chain is planar. The torsion angle of the single bond between the planes of the chain and the benzene ring is -8.6 (3) degrees. The dihedral angle between the planes defined by the chains of adjacent molecules is 50.0 (2) degrees. The shortest intermolecular distance between the Cl atoms is 3.514 (1) A. The molecules are joined through pi-pi-stacking and strong attractive Cl.Cl interactions.
