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:
