Crystal structure of 4-bromo-5,7-dimeth-oxy-2,3-di-hydro-1 H -inden-1-one.

In the title mol-ecule, C 11 H 11 BrO 3 , the di-hydro-indene moiety is essentially planar but with a slight twist in the saturated portion of the five-membered ring. The meth-oxy groups lie close to the above plane. In the crystal, π-stacking inter-actions between six-membered rings form stacks of mol-ecules extending along the a- axis direction, which are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed showing H⋯H, O⋯H/H⋯O and Br⋯H/H⋯Br contacts make the largest contributions to inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal.
