In chemistry, the perbromate ion is the anion with the chemical formula . It is an oxyanion of bromine, the conjugate base of perbromic acid, in which bromine has the oxidation state +7.{{Cite book | title = Inorganic chemistry | author1 = Egon Wiberg | author2 = Nils Wiberg | author3 = Arnold Frederick Holleman | publisher = Academic Press | year = 2001 | isbn = 0-12-352651-5 | page = 439

The term perbromate also refers to a compound that contains the anion or the functional group.

The perbromate ion is a strong oxidizing agent. The reduction potential for the / couple is +0.68 V at pH 14. This is comparable to selenite's reduction potential.

Synthesis

Attempted syntheses of perbromates were unsuccessful until 1968, when it was finally obtained by the beta decay of selenium-83 in a selenate salt by chemist Evan H. Appelman:

: → + β−

Subsequently, it was successfully synthesized again by the electrolysis of , although only in low yield. | doi = 10.1021/ja01009a040 | title = Synthesis of perbromates | year = 1968 | last1 = Appelman | first1 = E.

One effective method of producing perbromate is by the oxidation of bromate with fluorine under alkaline conditions:{{Cite book | title = Main group chemistry (Volume 3 of Tutorial chemistry texts) | author = W.

: + + 2 → + 2 +

This synthesis is much easier to perform on a large scale than the electrolysis route or oxidation by xenon difluoride.

In 2011 a new, more effective synthesis was discovered: perbromate ions were formed through the reaction of hypobromite and bromate ions in an alkaline sodium hypobromite solution. The reaction (and its perchlorate analogue) occurs naturally, but very slowly, requiring several days to complete. |first1=Aleksey N.|last1=Pisarenko|first2=Robert |last2=Young|first3=Oscar |last3=Quiñones|first4=Brett |last4=J.
