title: Crystal structure of N,N'-(1,2-phenyl-ene)bis-(2-chloro-acetamide).
abstract: In the title compound, C10H10Cl2N2O2, the secondary amide groups are differently twisted relative to the benzene ring, with dihedral angles between the respective planes of 21.03 (2) and 81.22 (2)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional polymeric network parallel to (001). One of the amide carbonyl O atoms accepts two H atoms in N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming an R 2 (2)(6) ring motif.
