Niobium(V) bromide is the
all share this structural motif.Synthesis
Niobium(V) bromide can be prepared by the reaction of bromine with niobium metal at 230-250 °C in a
aluminium tribromide:[4]
- Nb2O5 + 3.3 AlBr3 → 2 NbBr5 + 3.3 Al2O3
A challenge with the latter method is the occurrence of NbOBr3 as an impurity.
