| Molecular Formula | FeBr2 |
| Appearance | Yellow spherical crystals |
| Molecular Weight | 215.65 |
| Melting Point | 684 °C(lit.) |
| Boiling Point | 934 °C(lit.) |
| Density | 4.63 g/mL at 25 °C(lit.) |
| Storage Conditions | Storage temp. 2-8°C, inert gas environment |
| Solubility | Ethanol: Extremely soluble (when heated) |
| Purity | 3N (99.9%) / 4N (99.99%) / 5N (99.999%) /...... |
| Package Information | 1kg aluminum foil bags / 25kg fiber drums / custom OEM packaging |
| Handling | Glove box (air-sensitive materials), Anti-static measures (metal powders) |
High purity: Purified through vacuum distillation and recrystallization, the purity can reach 99.99%, with extremely low impurity content.
Strong chemical stability: The anhydrous structure design prevents the hydrolysis problem associated with conventional ferrous bromide, thereby maintaining stability in both dry storage and reaction systems.
Excellent reactivity: The unique coordination ability of Fe2+ ions gives it high selectivity in catalytic reactions, enabling it to participate in reactions such as bromination and coupling rapidly.
Wide compatibility: It is suitable for small-scale laboratory research experiments, and can also meet the needs of industrial mass production through industrial packaging (e.g., 25kg/drum, 50kg/drum). It is compatible with most organic solvents and reaction systems.
Organic synthesis: Synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates (such as antibiotics and anticancer drug precursors) and fine chemicals (such as fragrances and dyes).
Materials science: Key precursors for magnetic materials and semiconductor thin films; capable of preparing high-performance magnetic nanoparticles (such as Fe3O4-Br composite particles).
Catalysts: Highly efficient catalysts or co-catalysts used in bromination reactions and cross-coupling reactions (such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling).
Chemical analysis and research: Used as standard reagents for ion detection (such as determination of bromide ion content in water), coordination chemistry research, etc.
Storage conditions: Store in a sealed, dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse, avoiding humid air (relative humidity ≤60%) and direct sunlight. Do not store with oxidants (such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate) or acidic substances (such as hydrochloric acid) to prevent redox reactions or hydrolysis.
Operating procedures: Wear acid- and alkali-resistant gloves, protective goggles, and a dust mask during operation. It is recommended to conduct the operation in a fume hood to avoid dust inhalation. If the reaction system requires an anhydrous environment, the moisture inside the reaction apparatus must be replaced with an inert gas beforehand.
Hydrolysis protection: Avoid direct contact with water during use. If water is unavoidable in the reaction system, a dehydrating agent (such as molecular sieve or anhydrous magnesium sulfate) must be added in advance. Otherwise, FeBr2 will hydrolyze to generate hydrobromic acid (corrosive) and ferrous hydroxide, which will not only affect the reaction effect but also pose a safety hazard.
Transportation requirements: Handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to packaging that could lead to dust leakage; transport vehicles must be equipped with moisture-proof facilities (such as rainproof cloths and desiccants), keep away from fire and heat sources, and strictly comply with relevant regulations for the transportation of hazardous chemicals.
1. What happens when FeBr2 comes into contact with water?
FeBr2 undergoes a hydrolysis reaction upon contact with water, producing hydrobromic acid (HBr, corrosive) and ferrous hydroxide (Fe(OH)2, easily oxidized), leading to product failure and posing safety risks.
2. What is the core difference between industrial-grade and reagent-grade Iron (II) Bromide?
The core difference lies in purity and impurity content: Industrial-grade (99.9%) is suitable for large-scale chemical production (such as petrochemicals and dye synthesis) and has a lower cost; reagent-grade (99.99%) is suitable for laboratory research, drug synthesis, and electronic material preparation, where high purity is required.
