Chemical compound

Molybdenum(IV) bromide, also known as molybdenum tetrabromide, is the inorganic compound with the formula MoBr₄. It is a black solid. MoBr₄ has been prepared by treatment of molybdenum(V) chloride with hydrogen bromide:

2 MoCl₅ + 10 HBr → 2 MoBr₄ + 10 HCl + Br₂

The reaction proceeds via the unstable molybdenum(V) bromide, which releases bromine at room temperature.

Molybdenum(IV) bromide can also be prepared by oxidation of molybdenum(III) bromide with bromine.
