Rhenium(III) bromide is a chemical compound with the formula Re3Br9. It is a black lustrous crystalline solid. This compound reacts with water to form rhenium(IV) oxide and is isostructural with rhenium(III) chloride.[1][4]
Preparation
This compound is prepared by the reaction of rhenium metal and bromine gas at 500 °C under nitrogen:[2]
- 6Re + 9Br2 → 2Re3Br9
If there is oxygen in the atmosphere, it will instead form rhenium(III) oxybromide.[2]
However, the most common method of producing this compound is by first reacting potassium hexabromorhenate(IV) with silver nitrate, which forms silver hexabromorhenite(IV), then this compound is heated to 600 °C to form rhenium(III) bromide.[1][3]
- K2ReBr6 + 2AgNO3 → Ag2ReBr6 + 2KNO3
- 6Ag2ReBr6 → 12AgBr + 3Br2 + 2Re3Br9
An alternative method is a thermal decomposition of rhenium(V) bromide.
