title: 2-(4-Chloro-3-nitro-phen-yl)-4-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-1,3-thia-zole.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(8)Cl(2)N(2)O(2)S, crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the 4-chloro-3-nitro-phenyl ring and the thia-zole ring are 0.5 (1) and 7.1 (1)° and those between the 4-chloro-phenyl ring and the thia-zole ring are 7.1 (1) and 7.4 (1)° in the two mol-ecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
