ABSTRACT

Less is known about the anhydrous bromine-containing oxysalts than about the corresponding compounds of chlorine and iodine. This is true both with respect to the total number of such salts, as well as the information available on each salt. Since 1974, when the last review of these compounds was published,

the situation has changed only slightly, with the number of known bromites increasing from 2 to 3, bromates from 15 to 17, and perbromates from 3 to 8. There are still no thermodynamic data above 298 K. Consequently, this chapter is fairly brief, includes no high-temperature equilibrium calculations, and updates qualitative and semi-quantitative information using material published since 1972.
