Samarium(III) bromide is a crystalline compound of one samarium and three bromine atoms with the chemical formula of SmBr3. The compound has a crystal structure isotypic to that of plutonium(III) bromide.
Preparation SmBr3·6H2O can be crystallized by dissolving samarium oxide in 40% hydrobromic acid. The hydrate and ammonium bromide are heated in a vacuum to obtain the anhydrous form of samarium(III) bromide.林平娣, 吴国庆. 无水三溴化钐和三溴化镱的制备 [J]. 化学试剂, 1991(1):13-14.
Other compounds Samarium(III) bromide forms some compounds with hydrazine, such as SmBr3·3N2H4·H2O which is a pale yellow needle-shaped crystal that is soluble in water and ethanol but insoluble in benzene, with d20 °C = 3.147 g/cm3.Uchenye zapiski: Serii︠a︡ khimicheskikh nauk (SM Kirov adyna Azărbai̐jan Dȯvlăt Universiteti; 1977), page 37.
