4-Bromophenyl 2,6-dibromophenyl ether

J. Eriksson, L. Eriksson and J. Hu

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₂H₇Br₃O, is an example of a compound related to some important flame retardants, e.g. decabromodiphenyl ether. Salient intermolecular interactions are the short contacts between the bromine substituents and the C atoms of the aromatic ring system. The molecules make up chains through these short BrC contacts; these chains pack into sheets parallel to the ab plane, and copies of these sheets pack on to each other along the c axis in a tweed-like pattern.
