A density functional theory study of the cation obtained by ionization of tetrabromomethane is reported. C 2 v is the only one of the possible structures of subgroups of T d group, which presents energies below the first vertical ionization. A slight minimum corresponding to a C 3 v structure in a complex of CBr   + 3 Br, similar to CF   + 4 , has been found. A detailed study of the reaction path for producing CBr   + 3+ Br is considered. Different possible outcomes of the experiments are discussed in light of the theoretical results. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2003
