Hexabromobenzene is an aryl bromide and a six-substituted bromobenzene in which all six positions of the central benzene ring are bonded to a bromine atom.
Hexabromobenzene has seen use in high voltage capacitors as a flame retardant.[5] It also has applications as a starting material in the formation of thin graphene-like films for low cost energy storage devices and capacitors.[6]
