Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C24H16Cl12N2O4, is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre at the midpoint of the central C—C bond. A kink in the molecule is defined by a torsion angle of −169.86 (15)° about this central bond of the alkyl bridge. The pyrrolidine ring is essentially planar [max. deviation = 0.014 (1) Å]. The cyclohexane ring has a boat conformation, while both cyclopentane rings adopt an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—Cl⋯π interactions, and short intermolecular Cl⋯O and Cl⋯Cl contacts, forming a three-dimensional network.
