Refer to the adjacent table for the main properties of Ytterbium bromide.
Preparation
Dissolving ytterbium oxide into 40% hydrobromic acid forms YbBr3·6H2O crystals. After mixing the hydrate with ammonium bromide and heating it in a vacuum, anhydrous YbBr3 can be obtained.Ytterbium bromide can also be prepared by directly heating ytterbium oxide and ammonium bromide.
