Hypobromous acid, HOBr, is an oxoacid of bromine. It is often considered to be only stable in aqueous solution,[4][5] but it can be prepared in sufficient quantities in the gas phase for spectroscopic studies.[3]
Contents
Preparation
Hypobromous acid can be prepared in solution by the reaction of bromine with a well-stirred suspension of mercury(II) oxide or with silver nitrate.[6]
- 2 Br2 + 2 HgO + H2O → 2 HOBr + HgO·HgBr2
- Br2 + AgNO3 + H2O → HOBr + AgBr + HNO3
It is also formed by the disproportionation of bromine in water, although the equilibrium concentration is only 1.15 × 10−3 mol dm−3 in a saturated bromine solution (0.21 mol dm−3) at 25 °C.[5]
- Br2 + H2O ⇌ HOBr + H+ + Br−
It can also be prepared by the reaction of water with dibromine monoxide, which is the formal anhydride of hypobromous acid.[2]
- Br2O + H2O ⇌ 2 HOBr
Structure
Hypobromous acid has a bent C2v structure in the vapour phase, as expected from VSEPR theory, with r(Br–O) = 182.80 pm, θ(H–O–Br) = 102.99°.[3] Its rotational spectrum has been extensively studied.[7][8][9][10][11]
Reactivity
Hypobromous acid is unstable with respect to disproportionation, and should be prepared at around 0 °C.[5]
- 3 HOBr → 3 H+ + 2 Br− + BrO−3
The rate of disproportionation depends on the pH, being highest for pH 3–8.[12] The reaction is catalyzed by several species, including cobalt, nickel and copper ions[2] and phosphate and carbonate.[12]
Hypobromous acid will add to carbon–carbon double bonds to give bromohydrins,[13][14] and will also brominate activated aromatic rings such as toluene.[15]
The salts of hypobromous acid are called hypobromites. Because HOBr is only a very weak acid (pKa = 8.90), only salts of strong bases, such as the alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, can be formed. Lithium, sodium and potassium hypobromites have well-defined solid hydrates.[16][17] Calcium hypobromite has been known as a bleaching agent since the early twentieth century, and probably has the formula CaBr(OBr).[2] Other hypobromites are likely to exist in solution.
