Protactinium (V) bromide is a chemical compound of protactinium from the group of bromides .

presentation

Protactinium (V) bromide can be obtained by reacting protactinium (V) chloride with boron tribromide at 500 to 550 ° C.

It can also be obtained by reacting protactinium (V) oxide with aluminum tribromide at 400 ° C.

properties

Protactinium (V) bromide is an orange-red, crystalline, extremely moisture-sensitive solid that reacts violently with water and ammonia , but is stable in absolutely dry air. It is practically insoluble in isopentane , dichloromethane and benzene ; in anhydrous acetonitrile it dissolves to PaBr 5 · 4CH 3 CN. It comes in several modifications. Below 400 ° C as an α modification and above as a β modification. The α-form has a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group P 2 1 / c (space group no. 14) and the lattice parameters a = 1296 pm, b = 1282 pm, c = 992 pm, β = 108 ° and β-form as well a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group P 2 1 / n (No. 14, position 2) and the lattice parameters a = 838.5 pm, b = 1120.5 pm, c = 895.0 pm, β = 91.1 °. The β form is in the form of a dimer. Protactinium (V) bromide sublimes at 400 ° C in a vacuum. A γ-form was also detected, which has a crystal structure of the β- uranium (V) chloride type.
