Bromine mononitrate is an inorganic compound, derived from bromine and nitric acid with the chemical formula BrNO₃. The compound is a yellow liquid, decomposes at temperatures above 0 °C.^[1]

This compounds is extremely reactive due to its intrinsic instability, which makes handling and synthesis challenging. Because of its explosive potential and corrosive character, this substance is mostly used for study in restricted laboratory settings. About its particular characteristics and uses outside of its use as a chemical research subject, not much is known.
