A perbromate is a salt or ester of perbromic acid. Perbromates, including perbromic acid,[note 1] are the only well-characterized compounds of bromine in the +7 oxidation state.

Perbromates are thermodynamically more oxidizing than perchlorates or periodates, and eluded preparation for more than 100 years until 1968.[5][6][7] However, they are kinetically quite inert, especially in dilute solution.[6][7][8]

History

Although perchlorates and periodates have been known since the early nineteenth century, perbromates proved far more elusive.[9][10] The first claim of preparation came in 1863,[11] but proved unrepeatable.[12][13] Several later attempts to prepare perbromates were equally unsuccessful.[14][15] Some authors surmised that perbromates were fundamentally unstable.[16][17]

The first clear evidence of the existence of the perbromate anion came from "hot-atom" techniques. A sample of the β-emittor selenium-83 (t½ = 25 min) was prepared in the form of the selenate anion SeO2−4 and allowed to decay into bromine-83. Approximately 14% of the 83Br activity (β, t½ = 2.4 h) coprecipitated with rubidium perchlorate, as expected for a perbromate species.[5]

Electrolysis of lithium bromate at a platinum anode gave a yield of about 2% perbromate.[5] Small amounts of perbromate (1–4% yield) were also formed by the xenon difluoride oxidation of bromates, while perxenate, peroxodisulfate and ozone were ineffective as oxidizing agents.[5]

Preparation

The preparation of macroscopic quantities of perbromates relies on the oxidation of sodium bromate[note 2] in alkaline solution (5 M sodium hydroxide) by gaseous fluorine:

BrO3 + F2 + 2 OH → BrO4 + 2 F + H2O

The yield is about 20%, and the reaction can be operated on a 100-gram scale. Perbromic acid can be prepared from the resulting sodium perbromate by ion exchange, and used to prepare other perbromates.[19]

The perbromate ion has Td symmetry, although this may be slightly lowered in crystal structures. Bromine–oxygen bond distances are in the range 159–163 pm.

Properties

Perbromate esters

Isopropyl perbromate has been prepared by the reaction of silver perbromate with 2-bromopropane at −20 °C: it is stable in solution at −20 °C, but decomposes to acetone with a half-life of 30 minutes at room temperature.[27]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. Perbromic acid is fully dissociated in solution. By analogy with perchloric acid,[4] the solid HBrO4·2H2O is expected to contain [(H2O)2H]+[BrO4].
  2. Sodium bromate is used as the resulting sodium perbromate is very soluble in water; potassium perbromate is much less soluble (as is the case with the corresponding perchlorates).[18]
