Ytterbium(III) bromide (YbBr3) is an inorganic chemical compound.
Refer to the adjacent table for the main properties of Ytterbium(III) bromide.
Dissolving ytterbium oxide into 40% hydrobromic acid forms YbBr3·6H2O crystals.
After mixing the hydrate with ammonium bromide and heating it in a vacuum, anhydrous YbBr3 can be obtained.
[2] Ytterbium(III) bromide can also be prepared by directly heating ytterbium oxide and ammonium bromide.
