Strontium bromite dihydrate IUPAC name Strontium bromite — water (1/2) Identifiers Standard InChI InChI=1S/2BrHO2.2H2O.Sr/c2*2-1-3;;;/h2*(H,2,3);2*1H2;/q;;;;+2/p-2 Standard InChIKey UDBKYDMVCHLTNS-UHFFFAOYSA-L Properties Chemical formula Sr(BrO2)2·2H2O Molar mass 347.46 g mol−1 Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)

Strontium bromite, Sr(BrO₂)₂, is formally the barium salt of bromous acid. It is prepared, as the dihydrate, by the controlled disproportionation of strontium hypobromite at pH 11–12 and 0 °C.
