Radium Bromite Usage And Synthesis
Uses
According to one literature source, radium bromite (also known as “Radium-Bromatum”) has been used to treat mange-spots on dogs. The reason to use a radioactive chemical is not known except that radiumbromite is both radioactive and oxidative. Radium bromite is not available commercially and does not have a CAS number.
Preparation
In view of the intense radioactivity of 226Ra, there has
been little incentive to prepare this salt. Radium Bromite can be
prepared by the same methods used for its barium
homologue, namely:
RaCl2+ NaBrO2→Ra(BrO2)2+ 2NaCl
