Manganese pentacarbonyl bromide is an
organomanganese compound with the formula BrMn(CO)
5. It is a bright orange solid that is a precursor to other manganese complexes. The compound is prepared by treatment of
dimanganese decacarbonyl with
bromine
Bromine is a chemical element; it has chemical symbol, symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is a volatile red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured vapour. Its properties are intermediate between th ...
