tétrabrométhane : Composé de formule C2H2Br4. (Seul l'isomère 1,1,2,2, de formule Br2-CH-CHBr2 est important; il se forme par action du brome sur l'acétylène, d'où son nom de tétrabromure d'acétylène. Sa densité élevée et sa faible volatilité le font employer comme liqueur dense pour la séparation des minéraux).

OBS
