Dibromine monoxide, Br2O, is a binary compound of bromine and oxygen. The dark brown solid is unstable at room temperature.[1][4] It is prepared by the reaction of bromine with mercury(II) oxide[5][6] or by the low temperature decomposition of bromine dioxide in vacuo.[7][8] Other routes include the photolysis of mixtures of oxygen and bromine vapour[9][10] and the reaction of BrOTeF5 with water.[2]
Structure
Dibromine monoxide has a bent C2v structure in the vapour phase, with r(Br–O) = 184.29(20) pm, θ(Br–O–Br) = 112.24(20)°.[10] In the solid state, the symmetry is lower, with slightly different Br–O distances (185.7(5), 187.5(5) pm) and θ(Br–O–Br) = 114.2(2)°.[2] Solid Br2O has also been studied by infrared spectroscopy[9][11][12][13] and by EXAFS.[13]
Reactivity
Dibromine monoxide is a strong oxidizing agent, converting iodine to diiodine pentoxide and benzene to 1,4-benzoquinone.[1] It is formally the anhydride of hypobromous acid, and gives the hypobromite ion BrO− in alkaline solution.[1]
