Titanium(III) bromide

Titanium(III) bromide is the inorganic compound with the formula TiBr3.

It is a blue black paramagnetic solid with a reddish reflection.

TiBr3 can be produced by heating the tetrabromide in an atmosphere of hydrogen:[3] It can also be produced by comproportionation of titanium metal and titanium tetrabromide.

[4][5] Two polymorphs of TiBr3 are known, each exhibiting octahedral Ti centers.

[4] Heating the tribromide gives titanium(II) bromide together with the volatile tetrabromide:[3] The solid dissolves in donor solvents (L) such as pyridine and nitriles to produce 3:1 adducts:

NFPA 704 four-colored diamond Health 0: Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material. E.g. sodium chloride Flammability 0: Will not burn. E.g. water Instability 0: Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water. E.g. liquid nitrogen Special hazards (white): no code
