Synthesis
Synthesis of perbromyl fluoride is by the effect of antimony pentafluoride on a solution of potassium perbromate in hydrofluoric acid:[2]
- KBrO4 + 2 SbF5 + 3 HF → BrO3F + K[SbF6] + H[SbF6]·H2O
Physical properties
Perbromyl fluoride is a colorless gas at room temperature that is stable in the absence of moisture.[3]
Chemical properties
Perbromyl fluoride reacts with water to produce perbromic acid and hydrogen fluoride:
- BrO3F + H2O → HBrO4 + HF
