title: 1-(2,5-Dichloro-3-thien-yl)ethanone: infinite sheets mediated by O⋯Cl halogen bonds.
abstract: In the title compound, C(6)H(4)Cl(2)OS, the acetyl group is almost coplanar with the thio-phene ring [dihedral angle = 4.01 (2)°]. In the crystal, short inter-molecular O⋯Cl contacts [2.9494 (14) and 3.1191 (14) Å] link the mol-ecules into infinite (100) sheets and aromatic π-π stacking [centroid-centroid separation = 3.5422 (10) Å] consolidates the packing.
