Caesium bromide or cesium bromide is an ionic compound of caesium and bromine with the chemical formula CsBr. It is a white or transparent solid with a melting point a 636 °C that readily dissolves in water. Its bulk crystals have the cubic CsCl structure, but the structure changes to the rocksalt type in nanometer-thin film grown on mica, LiF, KBr or NaCl substrates.[6]

Synthesis

Caesium bromide can be prepared via following reactions:

Neutralization:

CsOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → CsBr (aq) + H₂O (l)

Cs₂(CO₃) (aq) + 2 HBr (aq) → 2 CsBr (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

Direct synthesis:

2 Cs (s) + Br₂ (g) → 2 CsBr (s)

The direct synthesis is a vigorous reaction of caesium with other halogens. Due to its high cost, it is not used for preparation.

Uses

Caesium bromide is sometimes used in optics as a beamsplitter component in wide-band spectrophotometers.
