In the title compound, C8H6BrCl3O, there is a weak intramolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond involving the O bound methylene group. Intermolecular Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.482 (2) Å] are present in the crystal structure.
Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 294 K; mean (C-C) = 0.005 Å; R factor = 0.059; wR factor = 0.155; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.5.In the molecule of the title compound, C 13 H 12 O, the two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 2.90 (3). An intramolecular C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bond results in the formation of a non-planar six-membered ring, which adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds link the molecules.

In the molecule of the title compound, C8H8BrClO, the Cl atom lies slightly out of the aromatic ring plane [displacement = 0.072 (3) Å]. In the crystal structure, a π–π contact between the phenyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.699 (3) Å] may stabilize the structure. There also exists a C—H⋯π contact between the methylene group and the chlorophenyl ring.
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C9H11BrO2, molecules are stacked parallel to the b-axis direction, forming double layers in which the molecules are arranged head-to-head, with the bromomethyl groups pointing towards each other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
