title: 2,4,6-Tri-nitro-phenyl 3-bromo-benzoate.
abstract: In the title picryl-substituted ester, C13H6BrN3O8, the mean plane of the central ester C-O-C(=O)-C fragment (r.m.s. deviation= 0.0186 Å) is rotated by 84.73 (7)° and 19.92 (12)° to the picryl and phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming centrosymmetric dimers enclosing R (2) 2(10) and R (2) 2(22) ring motifs along [001] and further helical chains of dimers enclosing R (2) 2(10) ring motifs along [010].
