6-(3-Chlorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole

In the title compd., C10H8ClN3S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole rings is 6.0(9)°. In the crystal, mols. are assembled by the formation of centrosym. dimers by I€-stacking of the thiadiazole and benzene rings of neighboring mols.
