Plutonium(III) bromide is aninorganic salt ofbromine andplutonium with the formula PuBr3. This radioactive green solid has few uses, however itscrystal structure is often used as a structural archetype incrystallography.

The PuBr3 crystal structure was first published in 1948 byWilliam Houlder Zachariasen.[2] The compound forms orthorhombic crystals, a type of square antiprism, within which the Pu atoms adopt an 8-coordinatebicapped trigonal prismatic arrangement. ItsPearson symbol is oS16 with the corresponding space group No. 63 (in International Union of Crystallography classification) or Cmcm (inHermann–Mauguin notation).
