1,2-Bis(dibromomethyl)benzene

In the title compound, C8H6Br4, intramolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds generate two S(6) rings. The two geminal bromine-atom substituents point to opposite sides of the aromatic ring system. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.727 (9) and 3.858 (9) Å
