The crystal structures of five dibromobenzene derivatives, namely dibromoborylbenzene, C6H5BBr2, (I), 1-dibromoboryl-4-(trimethylsilyl)benzene, C9H13BBr2Si, (II), 4-bromo-1-(dibromoboryl)benzene, C6H4BBr3, (III), dibromo(dimethylamino)(phenyl)borane, C8H12BBr2N, (IV), and dibromo(dimethylsulfanyl)[4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]borane, C11H19BBr2SSi, (V), have been determined. Compounds (I)–(IV) crystallize with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, but the molecule of (V) is located on a crystallographic mirror plane, implying twofold disorder of the central aromatic ring, the S atom and one of the methyl groups bonded to the S atom. In (I), (II) and (III), the B atom is three-coordinated, and in (IV) and (V) it is four-coordinated. The geometric parameters of the –BBr2group in these five structures agree well with those of comparable structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database. The C—B and B—Br bond lengths in the molecules with a three-coordinated B atom are significantly shorter than those in the molecules with a four-coordinated B atom. In the compounds with a three-coordinated B atom, the –BBr2group tends to be coplanar with the aromatic ring to which it is attached.
