The phenanthrene ring in the title compound, C14H8Br2, is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.039 (3) Å]. In contrast, the two bromo atoms are displaced slightly from the phenanthrene plane [maximum deviation = 0.1637 (3) Å]. In the crystal, the mol­ecules adopt a herringbone-like arrangement and form face-to-face slipped π–π stacking inter­actions along the b axis, with an inter­planar distance of 3.544 (3) Å and slippage of 1.81 Å. The crystal studied was a racemic twin with a minor twin fraction of 0.390 (10).

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C14H8Br2, is almost planar [maximum deviation 0.0355 (7) Å] and possesses crystallographic twofold (C2) symmetry. In the crystal, the mol­ecules form face-to-face slipped anti­parallel π–π stacking inter­actions along the c axis with an inter­planar distance 3.471 (7) Å, centroid–centroid distances of 3.617 (5)–3.803 (6) Å.
