Redetermination of 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl

A. K. Mohamed, N. Auner and M. Bolte

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₂H₈Br₂, previously reported by Kronebusch, Gleason & Britton [Cryst. Struct. Commun. (1976), 5, 839-842] has been rerefined against new intensity data. Geometric parameters agree quite well. However, the positions of the hydroxyl H atoms could be determined employing our new data. Furthermore, the results of the present structure determination are of significantly higher precision. There are two almost identical molecules in the asymmetric unit, which show close intermolecular BrBr contacts less than 3.48  Å.
