Abstract
The diatomic interhalogens have been studied extensively as potential visible chemical lasers.1 In this study, we report on the excitation of the B3II(O+) state of bromine monofluoride by energy transfer from the metastable O2(b1Σ). A bright orange flame is produced when Br2, F and the effluents of microwave discharge of oxygen are mixed in a flow tube apparatus.2
