The crystal structure of the title compound, C 23 H 28 Br 4 O 6 , confirms that it consists of two hexasubstituted aromatic units linked by a central methylene group. The molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold axis that passes through the methylene bridging atom. Examination of the extended str
