N,N'-Bis(4-chloro-3-fluoro-benzyl-idene)ethane-1,2-diamine

The asymmetric unit of the title Schiff base compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)F(2)N(2), contains one half of the centrosymmetric mol-ecule. Mol-ecules related by translation along the a axis form stacks with short inter-molecular C⋯C distances of 3.429 (3) Å. The crystal packing also exhibits short inter-molecular Cl⋯F contacts of 3.087 (1) Å.
