Neodymium(II) bromide is aninorganic compound ofneodymium andbromide.
Neodymium(II) bromide can be obtained via the reduction ofneodymium(III) bromide with neodymium in avacuum at 800 to 900 °C.[1]
Neodymium(II) bromide is a dark green solid. The compound is extremelyhygroscopic and can only be stored and handled under carefully dried inert gas or under a high vacuum. In air or on contact with water, it converts tohydrates by absorbing moisture, but these are unstable and more or less rapidly transform into oxybromides with evolution ofhydrogen. The compound has the samecrystal structure aslead(II) chloride type.[1]
