title: 1-Bromo-3,5-diphenyl-benzene.
abstract: The title compound, C(18)H(13)Br, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The C-Br bond lengths and the C-C bond lengths between the benzene rings are slightly different in the two mol-ecules. The dihedral angles between adjacent benzene rings are 26.85 (2) and 39.99 (2)° in one mol-ecule, and 29.90 (2) and 38.01 (2)° in the other. There are three types of inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions in the crystal structure.
