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]

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]
