Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₈H₇Br₂NO₂·C₉H₉Br₂NO₂, the 1,2-dibromo-4,5-dimethyl-3-nitrobenzene and 1,2-dibromo-4,5,6-trimethyl-3-nitrobenzene molecules occupy the same crystallographic position, such that the aromatic H atom of the former compound is superimposed on the methyl group of the latter. The structure is thus best modelled by a 50:50 disorder of the two compounds. All non-H atoms are located on a mirror plane except the O atoms of the nitro group.
