Release time: 2025-07-28
Physicochemical properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| CAS Number | 68322‑97‑4 |
| Molecular Formula | Br₂O |
| Molecular Weight | 175.80 g/mol |
| Appearance | Dark brown solid |
| Melting Point | -17.5°C (decomposes); stable below -40°C |
| Preparation | Produced by slowly heating BrO₂ under high vacuum from -40°C, yielding Br₂, O₂, and other by-products. Pure Br₂O is obtained by removing by-products at -55°C. |
| Stability | Unstable at room temperature; decomposes at -17.5°C. |
