Description:3,3',5,5'-Tetrabromobiphenyl is a polybrominated biphenyl compound characterized by the presence of four bromine atoms attached to a biphenyl structure. This compound is part of a larger class of chemicals known as brominated flame retardants, which are used to reduce flammability in various materials. Its molecular structure consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond, with bromine substituents located at the 3, 3', 5, and 5' positions. The presence of multiple bromine atoms significantly alters the physical and chemical properties of the biphenyl backbone, enhancing its thermal stability and hydrophobicity. 3,3',5,5'-Tetrabromobiphenyl is typically a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Due to its potential environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, it has raised concerns regarding its ecological impact and human health effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny in various jurisdictions. As a result, its use has been restricted or phased out in many applications.
