3-Bromo-5-fluorobenzonitrile is a molecule with a molecular weight of 111.18. It has been used as an experimental drug in the treatment of schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, but its clinical use has been discontinued because of the potential for neurotoxicity. 3-Bromo-5-fluorobenzonitrile is a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist, which means it activates mGluRs and mimics glutamate's effects. It binds to the mGluR5 receptor, which is found in the central nervous system, and is involved in regulating synaptic plasticity and memory formation. 3-Bromo-5-fluorobenzonitrile has vibrational exciplex properties that make it useful for molecular imaging applications at certain frequencies. It also has transport properties that are unusual for a thionyl compound. The molecule contains three bromine atoms that have negative charge, two fluor
