Abstract

Molecular bromine is oxidized by uranium hexafluoride in acetonitrile at ambient temperature. The product is formulated on the basis of its spectra, and its brominating and oxidizing abilities as [Br(C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>9</sub>N<sub>3</sub>)][UF<sub>6</sub>] in which bromine is bound to an acetonitrile trimer containing C=N bonds.
