General description
Tetrabromomethane can serve as a mediator, catalyst, and reagent in the synthesis of valuable chemicals.
Application
Tetrabromomethane may be used in the following applications:
- As a transfer agent for the copolymerization of methylmethacrylate and p-divinylbenzene to form soluble crosslinked polymers.
- As a catalyst for the aerobic photooxidative synthesis of aromatic esters from benzyl alcohols under metal-free conditions.
- Bromination of adamantane and its derivatives in the presence of iron compounds as catalyst.

Electronic origin for nonresonant enhancement of nonlinear optical response in the complexes formed from tetraalkylammonium halide and carbon tetrabromide is provided in view of electrostatic potentials of intermolecular donor (halide ion)-acceptor (CBr(4)). The calculated electrostatic potentials of donor-acceptor range from
