The bonding environments of some polybromide monoanions and networks were examined by quantum‐chemical methods to investigate electronic interactions between dibromine–dibromine contacts. Examination of thermodynamic parameters and a bond critical point analysis give strong evidence for such bonding modes, which have been previously treated disparately in the literature. The thermodynamic stability of large polybromides up to [Br 37 ] − was also predicted by these methods.
