Figure 3
Unit-cell overlay and depiction of the ππ inter­actions along [100] in the crystal structure of 2-methyl-1,4-phenyl­ene bis­(3,5-di­bromo­benzoate), giving parallel but slipped central 1,4-benzene rings (shaded green) and end group 3,5-di­bromo­phenyl rings (shaded blue). The centroids of the central benzene rings lie on inversion centers, giving equal Cg⋯Cg distances that correspond to the a lattice parameter [3.8875 (1) Å] with ring centroids shifted by 1.905 Å (central benzene rings) and 1.726 Å (3,5-di­bromo­phenyl rings). Displacement ellipsoids are shown at the 50% probability level.
