Vanadium(III) bromide, also known as vanadium tribromide, is VBr3. In the solid-state, this species is a polymeric with octahedral vanadium(III) surrounded by six bromide ligands.
VBr3has been prepared by treatment of VCl4 with HBr:
The reaction proceeds via the unstable vanadium(IV) bromide, VBr4, which releases Br2 at room temperature.Like VCl3, VBr3 forms red-brown soluble complexes with dimethoxyethane and THF, such as mer-VBr3(THF)3.
