title: (2E)-2-(4-Bromo-benzyl-idene)-2,3-di-hydro-1H-inden-1-one.
abstract: The title indan-1-one derivative, C(16)H(11)BrO, is planar, the r.m.s. deviation for all 18 non-H atoms being 0.071 Å. The configuration about the C=C bond [1.337 (5) Å] is E. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers in the ab plane are formed by C-H⋯O inter-actions, involving the bifurcated carbonyl O atom, as well as C-H⋯π inter-actions. The studied crystal was an inversion twin.
