Pentaaquahydroxoscandium(III) dibromide, [Sc(H₂O)₅(OH)]Br₂

U. Kolitsch

Abstract: [Sc(H₂O)₅(OH)]Br₂ is a scandium(III) halide compound that contains centrosymmetric [Sc(H₂O)₅(OH)]₂⁴⁺ dimeric cationic units built from two edge-sharing (hydroxo-bridged) symmetrically equivalent Sc(H₂O)₅(OH)₂ polyhedra. The mean Sc-O bond length is 2.156 Å. The hydrogen bonds (OBr) are of low strength. All atoms are in general positions.
