2,2-exo-3,5,6-Pentabromobicycloheptane

Abstract

The title compound, C7H7Br5, consists of a norbornane skeleton composed of two five-membered rings in envelope conformations or a six-membered ring with five Br atoms held in a boat conformation by a bridging methyl­ene group. The repulsive interactions between the Br atoms affect the topology of the norbornane moieties.
