Nitrogen tribromide

Nitrogen tribromide is a chemical compound with the formula NBr₃. It is extremely explosive in its pure form, even at −100 °C, and was not isolated until 1975.^[2] It is a deep-red and volatile solid.

Preparation

NBr₃ was first prepared by the bromination of bistrimethlysilylbromamine with BrCl at −87 °C:

(Me₃Si)₂NBr + 2 BrCl → NBr₃ + 2 Me
3SiCl

It reacts instantly with ammonia in dichloromethane solution at −87°C to yield NBrH₂.
