	abstract = {In the structure of the title compd., C12H8Br2, the two Br substituents are oriented exo to the boat-shaped cyclooctatetraene at the two ring sites that are β to the ring fusion positions.\&nbsp; The av. Br-C bond distance is 1.919(2) {\r A}, the av. distance for C=C double bonds that are Br substituted is 1.328(2) {\r A}, while the other two double-bond distances are 1.327(2) and 1.398(2) {\r A} for the nonfused and fused bonds, resp.\&nbsp; Each type of ring interat. distance is within s.u. of the av. values for the four known structures, including the title compd., of benzo-fused cycloocatatetraenes that are not coordinated to a metal atom.\&nbsp; The crystal structure features short Br{\textperiodcentered}{\textperiodcentered}{\textperiodcentered}Br [3.6620(3) {\r A}] and C{\textperiodcentered}{\textperiodcentered}{\textperiodcentered}H [2.834(2) and 2.841(2) {\r A}] contacts.\&nbsp; Crystallog. data and at. coordinates are given.},
