10,10'-Dibromo-9,9'-bianthryl

M. Sarkar and A. Samanta

Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₈H₁₆Br₂, the two anthryl moieties are almost perpendicular to each other; the dihedral angles between the anthryl planes are 89.42  (9) and 82.36  (7)° in the two independent molecules, one of which lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. An interesting feature of the crystal structure is the presence of C-H interactions.
