Information about Bismuth (III) Bromide / CAS 7787-58-8
Bismuth (III) Bromide (BiBr3), also known as bismuth tribromide, is a light-yellow crystalline compound known for its significant role in various industrial and research applications. Bismuth compounds, in general, have gained attention due to their relatively low toxicity compared to other heavy metals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from pharmaceuticals to advanced material synthesis.
Bismuth (III) Bromide serves as a versatile precursor in the synthesis of various bismuth-containing compounds. Bismuth Tribromide is used as a mild Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis, promoting reactions such as Friedel–Crafts acylations, alkylations, and halogenations. It offers a less toxic alternative to traditional metal halides, making it attractive for green chemistry applications.
In materials science, BiBr3 is utilized in the development of semiconductors and optoelectronic devices. Additionally, Bismuth (III) Bromide has been explored in the preparation of nanomaterials and thin films, contributing to research in the fields of photovoltaics and photonics.
