Xenon dibromide is an unstable chemical compound with the chemical formula XeBr2. It was only produced by the decomposition of iodine-129:[2]

129IBr2 → XeBr2 + e

Attempts to prepare this compound by combining elemental xenon and bromine only resulted in the XeBr radical.[3] This compound is expected to be less stable than xenon difluoride and xenon dichloride. It is also expected to decompose to xenon and bromine.[1]
