Phosphorus heptabromide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PBr
7. It is one of the phosphorus bromides. At normal conditions, it forms red prismatic crystals. PBr
7 can be prepared by the sublimation of a mixture of phosphorus pentabromide and bromine.[2]
- PBr
5 + Br
2 → PBr
7
The structure of PBr
7 consists of a tetrabromophosphonium cation [PBr
4]+
, paired with a tribromide anion [Br
3]−
, and the tribromide anion is non-symmetric.[1]
