Abstract

The molecular structure of 2,6-di(bromomethyl)biphenyl has been determined. The two phenyl rings are near perpendicular arrangement (86.0°), and the bromomethyl groups adopt an anti-conformation, resulting in the interlocking of two molecules and the cofacial arrangement of the substituted aromatic ring on two adjacent molecules. Crystal data: orthorhombic, Pbcn, a = 12.098(2), b = 13.677(3), c = 7.892(2) Å, V = 1305.8(5), and Z = 4.
