In the crystal structure of the title compound (systematic name: 2,3-dichlorobenzene-1,4-diol 2,3-dichlorocyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione monohydrate), C(6)H(4)Cl(2)O(2)center dot C(6)H(2)Cl(2)O(2)center dot H(2)O, the 2,3-dichloro-1,4-hydroquinone donor (D) and the 2,3-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone acceptor (A) molecules form alternating stacks along [100]. Their molecular planes [maximum deviations for non-H atoms: 0.0133 (14) (D) and 0.0763 (14) angstrom (A)] are inclined to one another by 1.45 (3)degrees and are thus almost parallel. There are pi-pi interactions involving the D and A molecules, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.5043 (9) and 3.9548 (9) angstrom. Intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule and the hydroxy and ketone groups lead to the formation of two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (001). These networks are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
