title: 9,10-Dibromo-phenanthrene.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(8)Br(2), is almost planar [maximum deviation 0.0355 (7) Å] and possesses crystallographic twofold (C2) symmetry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules form face-to-face slipped anti-parallel π-π stacking inter-actions along the c axis with an inter-planar distance 3.471 (7) Å, centroid-centroid distances of 3.617 (5)-3.803 (6) Å.
