Bromyl fluoride is an inorganic compound of bromine, fluorine, and oxygen with the chemical formula BrO₂F. ^{[1] [2]}

Synthesis

• A reaction of K⁺[BrF₄O]⁻ (potassium tetrafluorooxobromate(V)) with HF. ^[3]

• Also, reactions of BrF₅ with IO₂F, IOF₃, and I₂O₅ produce BrO₂F. ^[3]

• Hydrolysis of bromine pentafluoride at low temperatures:

BrF₅ + 2 H₂O → BrO₂F + 4 HF

Physical properties

The compound forms a colorless volatile liquid that decomposes at temperatures above 10 °C. It is highly reactive and unstable, ^[4] and corrodes glass at room temperature.

Chemical properties

• Decomposes when heated:

3 BrO₂F → BrF₃ + Br₂ + 3 O₂

• Reacts violently with water:

BrO₂F + H₂O → HBrO₃ + HF

• Reacts with alkalis:

BrO₂F + 2 NaOH → NaBrO₃ + NaF + H₂O
