Neptunium(III) bromide is abromide ofneptunium, with the chemical formula of NpBr3.
Neptunium(III) bromide can be prepared by reactingneptunium dioxide andaluminium bromide:[3]
Neptunium(III) bromide is a green solid. It can crystallize in two crystal systems:
Neptunium(III) bromide also has a green hexahydrate, which is monoclinic.[3]
At 425 °C, neptunium(III) bromide bromide can be further brominated by bromine to form neptunium(IV) bromide.[2]
