Abstract:Molecular packing analyses were carried out on 15 crystal data sets of chloro‐substituted Schiff bases, including that of the title compound, C15H15ClN2. C—H?π and π–π interactions play a major role in the molecular self‐assembly in the crystal. The former interactions favor mol­ecules assembling into a screw, with a non‐centrosymmetric crystal structure. When the molecular dipole is small, π–π interactions favor a parallel, but not usually antiparallel, mode of packing. Weak C—H?X hydrogen bonds (X = Cl or Br) and X?X interactions seem to be a secondary driving force in packing. The title mol­ecule takes the trans form and the two benzene rings are twisted around the central linkage in opposite directions. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules interact through C—H?π and π–π interactions, forming a `dimer' and further forming double chains along 001]. The double chains are extended along 10] through C—H?Cl hydrogen bonds, forming double layers in (010). In the third direction, there are only ordinary, weaker, van der Waals interactions, which explains the crystal habit (i.e. thin plate).
