3,6,8-Tribromoquinoline

The title molecule, C(9)H(4)Br(3)N, is almost planar, the maximum deviation being 0.110 (1) angstrom. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak aromatic pi-pi interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.802 (4) angstrom] between the pyridine and benzene rings of the quinoline ring systems of adjacent molecules.
