The title compound, C(32)H(36)Br(2)O(2), was prepared by the reaction of 6-bromo-1-(2-bromo-6-hydroxy-naphthalen-5-yl)-naphthalen-2-ol and 1-iodo-hexane. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring planes is 63.8 (9)° The crystal structure may be stabilized by two very weak π-π inter-actions involving the six-membered rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 4.012 (4) and 4.010 (4) Å. The crystal studied was an inversion twin.
