1-Bromo-2,6-dihydroxybenzene containing R(4)(4)(8) rings and C(2) helices.
Molecules of the title compound (also known as 2-bromoresorcinol), C(6)H(5)BrO(2), are essentially planar and possess normal geometrical parameters. The crystal packing is influenced by O-H...O and O-H...O/Br hydrogen bonds and pi-pi stacking interactions, resulting in a distinctive high-symmetry structure containing R(4)(4)(8) rings and helical C(2) chains.
