2-Bromo-1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, with Z' = 1.5: whole-molecule disorder of one of the two independent molecules.

The title compound, C(8)H(7)Br(3), possesses normal geometrical parameters. There are two independent molecules; one shows whole-molecule disorder with respect to an inversion-symmetry-generated partner, while the other is undisordered. This results in the unusual situation of Z' = 1.

1-Bromo-2,6-dihydroxybenzene containing R(4)(4)(8) rings and C(2) helices.

Molecules of the title compound (also known as 2-bromoresorcinol), C(6)H(5)BrO(2), are essentially planar and possess normal geometrical parameters. The crystal packing is influenced by O-H..
