The title compund was synthesized according to the published procedure (Chardonnens & Salamin, 1968). Colourless blocks were obtained by dissolving it (0.5 g) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) and evaporating the solvent slowly at room temperature for about 10 d.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding groups, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for aromatic H, and x = 1.5 for other H.

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 title compound, 1,4-dibromo-2,5-di-p-toluoylbenzene is an important intermediate not only for manufacturing OLED materials, but also for sensing and switching devices that utilize solid-state luminescence as an output. (Shimizu et al., 2011). We now report here its the crystal structure.
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1, and the selected geometric parameters are give in Table 1. The dihedral angles between the phenyl rings in p-toluoyl and the dibromobenzene are 89.14 (2)° and 82.41 (2)°. The phenyl rings are almost parallel with the maximum deviation of 0.26 (8)°. The crystal packing of the molecules in the crystal is influenced by van der Waals forces.
