Synthesis edit
It can be prepared through the reaction of hydrogen and dibromodifluoromethane at temperature in range 400–600 °C.[1]
Critical point data: Tc = 138.83 °C (411.98 K); pc = 5.2 MPa (51.32 bar); Vc = 0.275 dm3·mol−1.
Applications edit
Bromodifluoromethane was used as a refrigerant and in fire extinguishers. It is a class I ozone depleting substance with ozone depletion potential ODP = 0.74. It was banned by Montreal Protocol in 1996.
