Abstract

Several isomers of bromine dioxide BrO 2, dibromine dioxide Br 2O 2 and bromine trioxide BrO 3 are studied in ab initio correlated calculations. Optimizations are performed at the UMP2/AREP/TZ(2df) level and the resulting equilibrium geometries analyzed discussing general features of the bonding in these compounds. The torsional barrier of the stable BrOOBr peroxide is also presented and the structural distortion accompanying the internal rotation is considered in relation to the nature of the bonding. Enthalpies of formation at 0 and 298.15 K are estimated via isodesmic reactions with CCSD(T)/AREP/TZ(2df) eneries at the UMP2 geometries previously determined.
