Trichloro Bromine
I have a quick question. Does anyone know if it is possible to synthesize Trichloro Bromine? And if so, how?
When I became curious about the properties BrCl3 I went to the internet to learn about this compound, only, could not find any information about it
online (just examples of how to make the Lewis Structure). I am asking before I attempt synthesis because I do not have an ample supply of Bromine on
standby.
Although, I was wondering if it could be made the same way that Chlorine Triflouride (ClF3) by simply combining the 2 elements.
Would this work?
Br2 + 3 Cl2 = 2 BrCl3

Simply combining the two will rely on the ability of chlorine to form radicals in sunlight (UV), I can't see this compound being stable for storage or
workable.
Might be worth looking at BrF3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_trifluoride
