Iron(II) bromide is the chemical compound FeBr2. This brownish-colored solid is a useful synthetic intermediate; for example it is employed to insert Fe(II) into porphyrins.

tructure

Like most metal halides, FeBr2 adopts a polymeric structure consisting of isolated metal centers cross-linked with halides. It crystallizes with the CdI2 structure, featuring close-packed layers of bromide ions, between which are located Fe(II) ions in octahedral holes. [Haberecht, J.; Borrmann, H.; Kniep, R. "Refinement of the Crystal Structure of Iron Dibromide, FeBr2 Zeitschrift für Kristallographie - New Crystal Structures (2001), volume 216, page 510.] The packing of the halides is slightly different from that for FeCl2, which adopts the CdCl2 motif. FeBr2 also forms hydrates.

ynthesis

FeBr2 is conveniently synthesized using a methanol solution of concentrated hydrobromic acid. Addition with Fe gives the methanol solvate [Fe(MeOH)6] Br2 together with hydrogen gas. Heating the methanol complex in a vacuum at ca. 160 °C gives pure FeBr2. [G. Winter, "Iron(II) Halides" in "Inorganic Syntheses" 1973, volume 14, pages 101-104.]

Reactions

FeBr2 reacts with (C2H5)4NBr to give [(C2H5)4N] 2FeBr4. [N. S. Gill, F.. B. Taylor Inorganic Syntheses 1967, volume 9, page 136-142.]

FeBr2 reacts with bromide and bromine to form the intensely colored, mixed-valence species [FeBr3Br9] -. [Holleman, A. F.; Wiberg, E. "Inorganic Chemistry" Academic Press: San Diego, 2001. ISBN 0-12-352651-5]
