R. Köppen, F. Emmerling and R. Becker

Abstract: Decabromodiphenylethane [systematic name: 1,1'-ethane-1,2-diylbis(pentabromobenzene)], C₁₄H₄Br₁₀ (DBDPE), was crystallized from toluene. The molecule shows crystallographic inversion symmetry. The C-Br distances are in the range 1.873 (7)-1.891 (6) Å; intermolecular BrBr contacts contribute to the formation of ribbons.
