Terbium(III) bromide (TbBr3) is a crystalline chemical compound.[4]

Production and properties

Terbiun(III) bromide can be produced by heating terbium metal or terbium(III) oxide with ammonium bromide.[5]

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.[6]

Terbium(III) bromide is a white solid that soluble in water.[3] It's crystal structure is same as bismuth iodide.[7]
