Technetium(IV) bromide is an inorganic compound with the formula TcBr4. A brown solid, it is moderately soluble in water.[1]

Preparation

Technetium tetrabromide is produced by combining the elements at elevated temperatures:

Tc + 2 Br2 → TcBr4

Structure

As verified by X-ray crystallography, the compound is an inorganic polymer consisting of interconnected TcBr6 octahedra. Platinum(IV) bromide and osmium(IV) bromide adopt similar structures.
