'''[[Bromine]] monochloride''', also called '''bromine(I) chloride''', '''bromochloride''', and '''bromine chloride''', is an [[interhalogen]] [[inorganic compound]] with chemical formula BrCl. It is a very reactive golden yellow gas with boiling point 5&nbsp;°C and melting point −66&nbsp;°C. Its [[CAS number]] is 13863-41-7, and its [[EINECS number]] is 237-601-4.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gangolli |first=S. |author2=Royal Society of Chemistry |author2-link=Royal Society of Chemistry |title=The Dictionary of Substances and Their Effects |year=1999 |isbn=0-85404-808-1 |page=676}}</ref> It is a strong oxidizing agent. Its [[Molecular geometry|molecular structure]] in the gas phase was determined by [[Rotational spectroscopy|microwave spectroscopy]]; the Br-Cl bond has a length of ''r''_e = 2.1360376(18) Å.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ogilvie |first=J.
