Abstract

In the title compound, C14H9Br4N, the tricyclic ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 13 non-H atoms = 0.017 Å) and the methyl C atom deviates from the mean plane of the ring system by 1.072 (17) Å. In the crystal, Br⋯Br contacts [3.636 (3) and 3.660 (3) Å] slightly shorter than the van der Waals contact distance of 3.70 Å are seen.

Keywords: carbazole; crystal structure; halogen–halogen contact.
