Scandium bromide, or ScBr₃, is a trihalide, hygroscopic, water-soluble chemical compound of scandium and bromine.

Production and properties

ScBr₃ is produced through the burning of scandium in bromine gas.^[4]

2 Sc(s) + 3 Br₂(g) → 2 ScBr₃(s)

Uses

Scandium bromide is used for solid state synthesis of unusual clusters such as Sc₁₉Br₂₈Z₄, (Z=Mn, Fe, Os or Ru). These clusters are of interest for their structure and magnetic properties.^[5]
