Promethium(III) bromide is an inorganic compound, with the chemical formula of PmBr₃. It is radioactive salt. It is a crystal of the hexagonal crystal system, with the space group of P6₃/mc (No. 176).

Preparation

Promethium(III) bromide can be obtained by reacting hydrogen bromide and promethium(III) oxide:^[2]

Pm₂O₃ + 6 HBr —^500°C→ 2 PmBr₃ + 3 H₂O

Promethium(III) bromide hydrate cannot be heated to form its anhydrous form. Instead it decomposes in water to form promethium oxybromide:^[3]

PmBr₃ + H₂O(g) → PmOBr + 2 HBr
