Bromine oxide (BrO2)

yellowish orange solid; obtained by ozonation of Br2 in Freon 11 at ?50°C, and subsequent evaporation [KIR78]

Bromine dioxide is the chemical compound composed of bromine and oxygen with the formula BrO2. It forms unstable yellow to yellow-orange crystals. It was first isolated by R. Schwarz and M. Schmeißer in 1937 and is hypothesized to be important in the atmospheric reaction of bromine with ozone. It is similar to chlorine dioxide, the dioxide of its halogen neighbor one period higher on the periodic table.

Bromine dioxide is an inorganic radical and a bromine oxide.
