Dibromine monoxide, Br2O, is a binary compound of bromine and oxygen. 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]

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)°.[9] 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)°.[3] Solid Br2O has also been studied by EXAFS.[10]
