2,6-Dichloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile

Abstract

In the crystal, essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) molecules of the title compound, C7HCl2N3, form chains along the b axis by means of C—H...N interactions. These chains are further linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by C—Cl...N interactions.
