The title compound, C19H12Br3N, was synthesized by N-alkylation of 1-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)benzene with 3,6-dibromo-9H-carbazole. There are two unique molecules in the asymmetric unit. The carbazole ring system is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.0402 Å for one molecule and 0.0279 Å for the other. The carbazole planes are inclined to the benzene ring planes at dihedral angles of 58.3 (3) and 71.1 (3)° in the two molecules.
The title compound was prepared according to the procedure of Duan et al. (2005a,b) from 3,6-dibromo-carbazole (Smith et al. 1992) and 1-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)benzene. Compound (I) (40 mg) was dissolved in mixture of chloroform (10 ml) and ethanol (5 ml) and the solution was kept at room temperature for 18 d. Natural evaporation of the solution gave colourless crystals suitable for X-Ray analysis. (m.p. 480–481 K).
All H atoms were included in the riding model approximation with C—H distances = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.97 (methylene) Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2xUeq(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. |

Carbazole derivatives substituted by N-alkylation possess valuable pharmaceutical properties (Buu-Hoï & Royer, 1950; Harfenist & Joyner, 1983; Caulfield et al., 2002; Harper et al., 2002). In this paper, we report the structure of 3,6-dibromo-9-(4-bromobenzyl)-9H-carbazole (I), which was synthesized by N-alkylation of 1-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)benzene with 3,6-dibromo-9H-carbazole. The carbazole ring system is essentially planar with mean deviations of 0.0402Å for one molecule and 0.0279 Å for the other. The carbazole planes are inclined to the benzene ring planes at dihedral angles of 58.3 (3)° and 108.9 (3) ° respectively. The C—Br distances fall in the range 1.894 (6) to 1.911 (5) Å, consistent with the literature (Allen et al., 1987).
