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.
