Abstract
In the title compound, [SbBr(C10H7)2], the SbIII atom has a distorted trigonal–pyramidal coordination geometry and the planes of the two naphthalene ring systems make a dihedral angle of 80.26 (18)°. An intramolecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bond forms an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯Br interactions link the molecules into helical chains along the b-axis direction.
