1-Bromo-3,5-diphenylbenzene
Abstract
The title compound, C18H13Br, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The C—Br bond lengths and the C—C bond lengths between the benzene rings are slightly different in the two molecules. The dihedral angles between adjacent benzene rings are 26.85 (2) and 39.99 (2)° in one molecule, and 29.90 (2) and 38.01 (2)° in the other. There are three types of intermolecular C—H...π interactions in the crystal structure.
