Dibromodifluoromethane

(Redirected from Carbon dibromide difluoride)

Dibromodifluoromethane is a mixed halomethane. It is a colorless non-flammable liquid. Along with Halons 1211, 2402, and 1301, it is one of the most effective fire extinguishers, however, it is also very toxic. It is a class I ozone depleting substance (ODS).

Synthesis

edit

Dibromodifluoromethane can be obtained by vapor phase bromination of difluoromethane.[2]

It is also formed during the fluorination of carbon tetrabromide.[3]
