Holmium(III) bromide is a crystalline compound made of one holmium atom and three bromine atoms. Holmium bromide is a yellow powder at room temperature.[2] Holmium bromide is hygroscopic.[6] Holmium bromide is odorless.[5]
Reactions
Holmium(III) bromide is formed as a result of the reaction:[7]
- 2 Ho(s) + 3 Br2(g) → 2 HoBr3(s)
Holmium(III) bromide reacts with strong oxidising agents. When involved in a fire, holmium bromide may release hydrogen bromide, and metal oxide fumes.[5]
