Dibromine trioxide is the chemical compound composed of bromine and oxygen with the formula Br2O3. It is an orange solid that is stable below −40 °C. It has the structure Br−O−BrO2 (bromine bromate).[2] The Br−O−Br bond is bent with bond angle 111.2° and the Br−O−BrO2 bond length is 1.85Å.[3]

Reactions

Dibromine trioxide can be prepared by reacting a solution of bromine in dichloromethane with ozone at low temperatures.[2][3] It disproportionates in alkali solutions to Br
and BrO
