Carbonyl bromide chloride

There are no structural data known for carbonyl bromide chloride. In particular, the microwave spectrum of COBrCl has not been recorded, and no X-ray diffraction or electron diffraction studies have been performed. The molecular dimensions of COBrCl have been assumed to be r(CO) = 0.117 nm, r(CBr) = 0.194 nm, r(CCl) = 0.175 nm, stBrCCl = 111... 

Carbonyl bromide chloride is stable at 100 C (although decomposed slowly in sunlight) and does not react with mercury [2127]. It does react with antimony, however [2127],... 

Carbonyl bromide chloride is not available commercially. It is readily prepared, however, by the oxidation of tribromochloromethane, CBr3Cl with concentrated sulfuric acid ...
