Tetrabromoauric acid is an inorganic compound with the formula . It is the bromide analog of chloroauric acid. It is generated analogously, by reacting a mixture of hydrobromic and nitric acids with elemental gold. The oxidation state of gold in and anion is +3. The salts of (tetrabromoauric(III) acid) are tetrabromoaurates(III), containing anions (tetrabromoaurate(III) anions), which have square planar molecular geometry.
