Chemical Properties
Bismuth Bromide is a high water-soluble crystalline Bismuth source for uses compatible with Bromides and lower (acidic) pH.
Physical properties
Bismuth Bromide is a kind of yellow powder with a chemical formula of BiBr3.
Uses
Bismuth Bromide can catalyzes the formation of cyclic carbonates, which are important precursors for polycarbonates and other polymeric materials.
Preparation
Bismuth tribromide may be formed by the reaction of bismuth oxide and hydrobromic acid with the equation; Bi2O3 + 6 HBr ⇌ 2BiBr3 + 3H2O; Bismuth tribromide can also be produced by the direct oxidation of bismuth in bromine.
