Bromdioxid is a chemical compound from the group of bromine oxides.

Production and representation

Bromdioxid can be obtained in a bromine -oxygen mixture at low temperature by ozonating bromine in trichlorofluoromethane, or by exposure to a glow discharge.

It was the first time in 1937 by R. Black and M. Schmeisser isolated.

Properties

Bromdioxid is a low temperature, a yellow solid. He is dimeric and has no definite melting point, but decomposes at a temperature of 0 ° C temperature in bromine and oxygen. Too rapid heating can occur in an explosion.
