Ditellurium bromide is the inorganic compound with the formula Te₂Br. It is one of the few stable lower bromides of tellurium. Unlike sulfur and selenium, tellurium forms families of polymeric subhalides where the halide/chalcogen ratio is less than 2.^[2]

Preparation and properties

Te₂Br is a gray solid. Its structure consists of a chain of Te atoms with Br occupying a doubly bridged site. It is prepared by heating tellurium with the appropriate stoichiometry of bromine near 215 °C. The corresponding chloride and iodide, Te₂Cl and Te₂I, are also known.^[3]

Other tellurium bromides include the yellow liquid Te₂Br₂, the orange solid TeBr₄,^[4] and the greenish-black solid TeBr₂.^[5] Complexes of the type TeBr₂(thiourea)₂ are well characterized.^[6]
