4,4′-Dibromo-2-nitrobiphenyl

Abstract

The title compound, C12H7Br2NO2, a biphenyl derivative, displays a twisted conformation with the two benzene rings making a dihedral angle of 55.34 (14)°. The dihedral angle between the nitro group and its parent benzene ring is 26.8 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯O inter­actions, which lead to the formation of chains propagating along the c-axis direction.
