Terbium bromide

Terbium(III) bromide (Terbium, TbBromine, Br₃) is a crystalline chemical compound.

Production and properties

Terbiun(III) bromide can be produced by heating terbium metal or terbium(III) oxide with ammonium bromide.
: Tb₂O₃ + 6 NH₄Br → 2 TbBr₃ + 6 NH₃ + 3 H₂O

Solution of terbium(III) bromide can crystallize its hexahydrate. When heating it, it will dehydrate and produce some TbOBr.

Terbium(III) bromide is a white solid that soluble in water.CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 87th Edition, S. 4–94 It's crystal structure is same as bismuth iodide.
