Uranium pentabromide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula U₂Br₁₀.

Synthesis

The compound is made by reacting the elements in an acetonitrile solvent, or by reacting bromine with uranium metal or uranium tetrabromide at 55 °C (131 °F; 328 K).^[1]

Properties

Uranium pentabromide is a hygroscopic dark brown solid that decomposes in water and most organic solvents, the exceptions being acetonitrile or dichloromethane.^[1] The compound is rather unstable and difficult to purify,^[2] decomposing at 80 °C (176 °F; 353 K) into its constituent elements.^[3] The crystal structure is the same as that of β-UCl₅, which is triclinic and consists of U₂Br₁₀ dimers.^[4]

Complexes

Stable complexes of the form UBr₅L are known with such ligands as triphenylphosphine oxide and hexamethylphosphoramide, and are obtained by brominating UBr₄ in the presence of the desired ligand.^[2] In addition, it is possible to obtain a hexabromouranate(V) salt by reacting UBr₅ with a monovalent bromide in thionyl bromide:^[1]
