3,6,8-Tribromoquinoline

Abstract

The title molecule, C9H4Br3N, is almost planar, the maximum deviation being 0.110 (1) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak aromatic π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.802 (4) Å] between the pyridine and benzene rings of the quinoline ring systems of adjacent molecules.
