title: 1,2-Bis(dibromo-meth-yl)benzene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(8)H(6)Br(4), intra-molecular 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, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.727 (9) and 3.858 (9) Å.
