Selenium dibromide is a compound made of one selenium and two bromine atoms. It is unstable. No solid form of the compound has been discovered but it is a component of the equilibria in the vapour above selenium tetrabromide (SeBr
4
) and in nonaqueous solutions.[1] In acetonitrile solution, selenium reacts with SeBr
4
to form an equilibrium mixture containing SeBr
2
, Se
2
Br
2
and Br
2
.[2] This covalent compound has a bent molecular geometry in the gas phase.[3]
