Sulfuryl bromide fluoride is an inorganic compound of bromine, fluorine, oxygen, and sulfur with the chemical formula BrFO2S.[1][2][3]

Synthesis

Synthesis of sulfuryl bromide fluoride can be by a reaction of bromine, bromine trifluoride, and sulfur dioxide:[4][5]

Br2 + BrF3 → 3 BrF
SO2 + BrF → SO2BrF

Physical properties

Sulfuryl fluoride bromide forms a colorless liquid that, when standing in humid air, turns slightly red due to the release of elemental bromine.[6]

Sulfuryl bromide fluoride reacts slowly with glass, but has no effect on quartz.[5]

Chemical properties
