Silver hypobromite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgBrO.123 It is an ionic compound of silver and the polyatomic ion hypobromite. It decomposes very rapidly even at room temperature.4
Synthesis
Silver hypobromite can be prepared by the oxidation of silver sub-bromide:5
- 4 Ag2Br + 4 H2O + 3 O2 → 4 AgOBr + 4 AgOH + 2 H2O
It can also be prepared by the reaction of silver hydroxide and hypobromous acid:
- AgOH + BrHO → AgBrO + H2O
