Synthesis

edit

Synthesis if perbromyl fluoride is by the effect of antimony pentafluoride on a solution of potassium perbromate in hydrofluoric acid:[3]

KBrO4 + 2SbF5 + 3HF → BrO3F + K[SbF6] + H[SbF6]•H2O

Physical properties

edit

Perbromyl fluoride forms a colorless gas that is stable in the absence of moisture.[4]

Chemical properties

edit

Perbromyl fluoride reacts with water:

BrO3F + H2O → HBrO4 + HF
