In the title molecule, C14H10Br2S, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 48.35 (14)°. The seven-membered ring adopts a boat conformation. In the crystal structure, molecules are related by translation along the b axis and exhibit C-H

interactions.
The title compound has been prepared in a four-step reaction. Step 1: the 2,7-dibromophenanthrenequinone was obtained by direct bromination of phenanthrenequinone in the presence of n-bromosuccinimide in H2SO4. Step 2: the oxidation of 2,7-dibromophenanthrenequinone in the presence of pure oxygen and Cu(I)Cl gave 4,4-dibromodiphenic acid. Step 3: the reduction of 4,4-dibromodiphenic acid using NaBH4 gave 4,4'-dibromo-2,2'-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-bipheny. Step 4: the reacton of 4,4'-dibromo-2,2'-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-biphenyl and sodium sulfate nonahydrate gave the title compound. Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation of a ethanol solution.
H atoms were geometrically positioned (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The dibenzo[c,e]thiepine derivatives (Truce et al. 1956) exhibit remarkable chiroptical properties (Tomascovic et al. 2000). Introducing Br on benzene ring of dibenzo[c,e]thiepine can expand the field of their application, such as photoluminescence, electro-luminescence devices and nonlinear potics etc. Herein we present the crysal structure of the title compound, (I).
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule exhibits twisted conformation with a dihedral angle of 48.35 (14)° between two benzene rings, while central 7-member ring has a boat conformation. The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1).
