title: 2,3,4,5,6-Penta-bromo-phenol.
abstract: The title compound, C(6)HBr(5)O, is the perbrominated derivative of phenol. The mol-ecule shows non-crystallographic mirror symmetry. Bond lengths between the C and Br atoms are normal. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into infinite strands. Dispersive Br⋯Br contacts are observed. No significant π-π stacking is obvious.
