Iridium(III) bromide is a bromide of iridium(III), with the chemical formula of IrBr3.
Preparation
[edit]Iridium(III) bromide can be formed by reacting iridium(II) bromide and bromine. Its tetrahydrate can be formed by reacting iridium dioxide dihydrate with hydrobromic acid.[1] It can also be formed by the direct reaction of iridium and bromine at 8 atm and 570 °C.[3]
Properties
[edit]Iridium(III) bromide is a dark reddish-brown solid that is insoluble soluble in water, acids, and alkalis and decomposes to iridium(II) bromide on heating.[1] It crystallizes in a highly disordered layered structure of aluminum(III) chloride or chromium(III) chloride type, where the monoclinic unit cell contains four formula units. As with rhenium(III) chloride, rhenium(III) bromide, α-iridium(III) chloride and α-ruthenium(III) chloride, the disorder is due to the different stacking of the metal layers.[4] The light olive green tetrahydrate is slightly soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol and ether. When heated to 100 °C, it turns dark brown with release of water and decomposes to iridium and bromine at higher temperatures.[1] It reacts with germanium dibromide in hydrobromic acid solution to form a compound containing Ir-Ge bond, and adding Cs+ to it can separate Cs3[Ir(GeBr3)nBr6−n] (n=1, 2, 3).[5]
