Conclusion

The crystal structure of 4-bromo-N-(4-bromophenyl)aniline shows no intermolecular hydrogen bonding but significant Br⋯Br contacts.

Supporting Evidence

  • The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 47.32°.
  • The pitch angles are 18.1° and 31.7°.
  • There is a short intermolecular Br⋯Br contact of 3.568 Å.

Takeaway

This study looks at a chemical compound and finds that while it doesn't bond with hydrogen, it has some close interactions between bromine atoms.

Methodology

The structure was determined using X-ray crystallography with a Bruker APEXII CCD diffractometer.
