Antimonide bromides or bromide antimonides are compounds containing anions composed of bromide (Br
−) and antimonide (Sb
3−). They can be considered as
mixed anion compound
Mixed-anion compounds, heteroanionic materials or mixed-anion materials are chemical compounds containing cations and more than one kind of anion. The compounds contain a single phase, rather than just a mixture.

s.
The
bromoantimonates have antimony in positive oxidation states.
The antimony can be linked into chains, in which case it has a formal oxidation state of −1. Alternately it can be in pairs as Sb
2, with an oxidation state of −2 for each atom.
Many of these compounds are
clathrates
A clathrate is a chemical substance consisting of a lattice that traps or contains molecules. The word ''clathrate'' is derived from the Latin (), meaning 'with bars, latticed'. Most clathrate compounds are polymeric and completely envelop the ...
