title: N-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-1,8-naphthalimide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(18)H(10)ClNO(2), the naphthalimide ring system is almost planar, the rings forming dihedral angles of 2.05 (3), 2.26 (3) and 0.80 (3)°. The attached benzene ring of the 4-chloro-phenyl substituent is inclined to the mean plane of the naphthalimide ring system by 75.77 (11)°. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions. There are also weak π-π contacts between the naphthalimide rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.732 (3) Å].
