Phosphorus heptabromide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula P Br7. It is one of the phosphorus bromides. At normal conditions, it forms red prismatic crystals. PBr7 can be prepared by the sublimation of a mixture of phosphorus pentabromide and bromine. [2]
- PBr5 + Br2 → PBr7
The structure of PBr7 consists of a tetrabromophosphonium cation [PBr4+, paired with a tribromide anion [Br3−, and the tribromide anion is non-symmetric. [1]
