Abstract: | The title compound, C18H18Cl4N2O2, crystallizes as monoclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs from CHCl3–CH3OH solution. In both polymorphic forms, the molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of inversion (at the piperazine ring centroid) and exhibits an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. In the monoclinic polymorph (space group P21/c), the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds into a ribbon sheet built from R88(34) rings. In the orthorhombic polymorph (space group Pbcn), the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a ribbon sheet of R66(34) rings. The sheets in the orthorhombic polymorph are crosslinked into a three‐dimensional framework by π–π stacking interactions. |
