Comment: My draftification note is "Weak, inaccessible, or non-existent sourcing for key details, and generally just apparent remnants of AI slop (ref 3 is bogus). doi:10.1039/jr9550003959 (not cited) might have info, but is it notable even with that?" If this goes back to mainspace, also needs a more correct name per systematic rules. DMacks (talk) 15:25, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Polonium dichloride dibromide with the formula PoCl2Br2 is a possible but poorly characterized compound predicted to form when polonium dichloride reacts with bromine, and evidence for its existence from X-ray powder photography[2] is weak.
Synthesis
[edit]Polonium(II) chloride reacts with bromine vapors to form a salmon-pink product that is likely polonium dichlorodibromide PoCl2Br2.[3][4]
Characterization
[edit]X-ray powder photography has been used to analyze the product, but the results were too poor to definitively prove the existence of a new compound, notes The Royal Society of Chemistry.[citation needed]
