2,5-Dibenzoyl-benzene-1,4-diaminium dichloride.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(18)N(2)O(2) (2+)·2Cl(-), is composed of one-half of the 2,5-dibenzoyl-benzene-1,4-diaminium dication, located on a centre of inversion, and one Cl(-) ion. The dihedral angle between the central benzene ring and the benzoyl phenyl ring is 53.3†(2)°. In the crystal structure, ions are linked to form a two-dimensional network parallel to the (10) plane by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
