In the title compound, C18H11BrN6, the phenyl ring is almost coplanar [dihedral angle 7.2 (1)°] with the planar (r.m.s. deviation 0.039 Å) tricyclic ring system while the 4-bromophenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 33.98 (6)° with the ring system. Weak intermolecular C-H
N and C-H
Br hydrogen-bonding interactions and
-
stacking [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7971 (17) and 3.5599 (16) Å] stabilize the crystal packing. A comparison of the structure to a MOPAC PM3 geometry optimization calculation in vacuo supports these observations.
