Key Properties
Zinc bromide anhydrous (for synthesis) is a soluble zinc halide that serves as a Lewis acid catalyst in various organic synthesis reactions. It is characterized by its high purity of 98%, making it suitable for demanding applications in chemical research and industrial processes. The compound is notable for its hygroscopic nature, which allows it to readily absorb moisture from the environment, thus requiring careful storage conditions. Zinc bromide is also utilized in coordination chemistry, particularly in the study of zinc-halide complexes, due to its ability to form stable coordination compounds with various ligands.
Also known as Zinc dibromide.

- Substance
Zinc bromide appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb water vapor from the air. It has a melting point of approximately 396 °C and a boiling point of around 650 °C. The density of zinc bromide is about 4.1 g/cm³, and it is soluble in water, with solubility increasing with temperature. The compound has a strong ionic character, contributing to its solubility in polar solvents. Its hygroscopic nature necessitates storage in a dry environment to maintain its anhydrous form.
