Tin tetrabromide, with the chemical formula SnBr₄ and CAS number 7789-67-5, is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation of a dark brown or black solid. It is a covalent compound where tin is in the +4 oxidation state, coordinated by four bromine atoms. Tin tetrabromide is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to hydrolysis in the presence of water, forming tin bromide and hydrobromic acid. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as carbon disulfide and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. Tin tetrabromide is primarily used in organic synthesis as a brominating agent and in the preparation of other tin compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this chemical.
