Disulfur dibromide is the inorganic compound with the formula S

Br

. It is a yellow-brown liquid that fumes in air. It is prepared by direct combination of the elements and purified by vacuum distillation.[3] Higher yields can be obtained from disulfur dichloride and 50% aqueous hydrobromic acid, but the product must be promptly removed from water, lest it hydrolyze.[1] The compound has no particular application,[citation needed] unlike the related sulfur compound disulfur dichloride, although acidic alcoholysis is "an excellent synthesis of alkyl bromides."[1]

The molecular structure is Br–S–S–Br, akin to that of disulfur dichloride (S

). According to electron diffraction measurements, the angle between the Bra
–S–S
and S–S–Brb
planes is 84° and the Br–S–S angle is 107°. The S–S distance is 198.0 pm, circa 5.0 pm shorter than for S
