Vanadium(II) bromide
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vanadium(II) bromide is an inorganic compound with the formula VBr2. It adopts the cadmium iodide structure, featuring octahedral V(II) centers.[1] A hexahydrate is also known. The hexahydrate undergoes partial dehydration to give the tetrahydrate. Both the hexa- and tetrahydrates are bluish in color.[2] The compound is produced by the reduction of vanadium(III) bromide with hydrogen.
