N-(3-Chloro-phen-yl)-N'-(3-methyl-phen-yl)succinamide.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(17)ClN(2)O(2), contains one half-mol-ecule with a center of inversion at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. The amide N-H group is anti to the meta-chloro/methyl groups in the adjacent benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the NH-C(O)-CH(2) segment is 43.5 (1)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the a axis. The methyl group and the Cl atom occupy the same position and were treated in a disorder model with site-occupation factors of 0.5 each.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
