Rhenium(III) bromide is a chemical compound with the formula Re₃Br₉. It is a black lustrous crystalline solid. This compound reacts with water to form rhenium(IV) oxide and is isostructural with rhenium(III) chloride.^[1]^[4]

Preparation

This compound is prepared by the reaction of rhenium metal and bromine gas at 500 °C under nitrogen:^[2]

6Re + 9Br₂ → 2Re₃Br₉

If there is oxygen in the atmosphere, it will instead form rhenium(III) oxybromide.^[2]

However, the most common method of producing this compound is by first reacting potassium hexabromorhenate(IV) with silver nitrate, which forms silver hexabromorhenite(IV), then this compound is heated to 600 °C to form rhenium(III) bromide.^[1]^[3]

K₂ReBr₆ + 2AgNO₃ → Ag₂ReBr₆ + 2KNO₃

6Ag₂ReBr₆ → 12AgBr + 3Br₂ + 2Re₃Br₉

An alternative method is a thermal decomposition of rhenium(V) bromide.
