title: N,N'-Bis(4-chloro-benzyl-idene)-2,2-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine.
abstract: The title compound, C(19)H(20)Cl(2)N(2), is a potential bidentate Schiff base ligand. Intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds form five-membered rings, generating S(5) ring motifs. Each imino functional group is coplanar with its adjacent benzene ring; the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 51.30 (4)°. An inter-esting feature of the crystal structure is weak inter-molecular Cl⋯Cl [3.4752 (4) Å] and Cl⋯N [3.2927 (9) Å] inter-actions. Inter-molecular Cl⋯N inter-actions link mol-ecules into dimers with R(2) (2)(22) ring motifs. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak π-π [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6970 (6)-3.8560 (6) Å] inter-actions.
