Preparation

Phosphoryl bromide is prepared by the reaction between phosphorus pentabromide and phosphorus pentoxide:[2][3]

3 PBr5 + P2O5 → 5 POBr3

It can also be prepared via the slow addition of liquid bromine to phosphorus tribromide at 0 °C, followed by the slow addition of water and vacuum distillation of the resulting slurry.

Structure and properties

Phosphoryl bromide forms colorless crystals or thin plates with a faint orange tint.[4] Its crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group Pnma,[5] with intermolecular Br–O bridges creating infinite chains within the structure. The intermolecular bonding causes distortions from the C3v symmetry found in the free molecule.[1]

It reacts violently with water, forming phosphoric acid and hydrobromic acid. It is soluble in ether, benzene, chloroform, carbon disulfide, and concentrated sulfuric acid.[4] It is stored in sealed glass ampoules.
