Br2O

Boron dibromide is a chemical compound with the formula Br2O. It is a neutral molecule composed of one boron atom and two oxygen atoms. Boron dibromide is an unstable compound that readily decomposes. It is typically prepared in situ, meaning it is generated and used immediately in a reaction mixture rather than being isolated and stored. Its exact properties and reactivity are not extensively documented due to its transient nature. Research into boron-oxygen-halogen compounds is a specialized area, and Br2O is a less commonly studied example. The synthesis of such compounds often involves reactions at low temperatures to control their reactivity and prevent decomposition. Understanding the formation and decomposition pathways of these species is crucial for their potential applications in specific chemical transformations.
