Astatine bromide is an interhalogen compound with the chemical formula At Br.

Production

Astatine bromide is produced by the reaction of astatine with an aqueous solution of iodine monobromide:

At₂ + 2 IBr → 2 AtBr + I₂^[1]

Astatine bromide also can produce by reacting elemental astatine and bromine:^[2]

At₂ +Br₂→ 2 AtBr
