Dysprosium(III) bromide is an inorganic compound of bromine and dysprosium, with the chemical formula of DyBr3.
Dysprosium(III) bromide can be obtained by reacting dysprosium with bromine: [4]
Dysprosium bromide hexahydrate can be obtained by crystallization from its solution, [2] which can be heated with ammonium bromide in vacuum to obtain the anhydrous form. [1]
Dysprosium(III) oxide and aluminium bromide (in the form of Al2Br6 at a high temperature react a DyAl3Br12, which decomposes to dysprosium(III) bromide at a lower temperature: [5]
Dysprosium(III) bromide is a white-gray hygroscopic solid that is soluble in water. [6] It has a trigonal crystal structure of the bismuth(III) iodide type with space group R3 (No. 148). [7]
