1,6,7-Tris(bromomethyl)naphthalene

P. Kus and P. G. Jones

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₁Br₃, has a planar framework of C atoms with no distortion towards helicity. The two adjacent bromine substituents point to opposite sides of the ring system. Two bromine-bromine contacts, with distances less than twice the van der Waals radius, link the molecules to form ribbons parallel to the a axis. Weak C-HBr hydrogen bonds and partial ring stacking complete the crystal packing.
