Berkelium (III) bromide is a bromide of the artificial element and actinoid Berkelium with the empirical formula BkBr 3 . In this salt , Berkelium occurs in the +3 oxidation state.

properties

Berkelium (III) bromide crystallizes in the PuBr 3 type at low temperatures , the crystal system is orthorhombic with a = 403 pm, b = 1271 pm and c = 912 pm. At higher temperatures it crystallizes in the AlCl 3 type , the crystal system is monoclinic with a = 723 pm, b = 1253 pm, c = 683 pm and β = 110.6 °.

safety instructions

Classifications according to the CLP regulation are not available because they only include chemical hazard and play a completely subordinate role compared to the hazards based on radioactivity . The latter also only applies if the amount of substance involved is relevant.
