Abstract: The title compound, C₁₂H₉Br₅, involves two non-planar six-membered carbon rings constituting a bicyclic system. One of these non-planar carbon rings shares two C atoms with a benzene ring and has three Br substituents, while the second non-planar carbon ring has two Br substituents. The repulsive interaction between the neighbouring Br atoms is evidenced by the enlargement of the respective Br-C-Br and Br-C-C angles.
