The volume describes the chemical and physical properties of the approximately 80 known bromine compounds and ions which contain oxygen and/or nitrogen, and which may include hydrogen as well. The class of bromine-oxygen and bromine-oxygen-hydrogen compounds comprises several well-known species. Their description accounts for approximately three-quarters of the volume. The BrO radical and the BrO3 ion are the most and best studied among all binary bromine-oxygen species. BrO was recently recognized to play a role in some reaction sequences depleting the ozone concentration in the stratosphere. Bromate-ion-driven chemical oscillator systems have attracted much interest in recent decades. Thus data on single reaction steps which involve BrO3, BrO2, and the oxoacides of bromine - HBrO, HBrO2, and HBrO3 - are reviewed in detail; a comprehensive description of the oscillating systems, however, is beyond the scope of this volume. The remaining one-quarter of the volume is devoted to bromine-nitrogen and bromine-nitrogen-oxygen compounds. Bromine azide and nitrosyl bromide are the most comprehensively studied of these, accounting for almost half of this section.
