Magnesium bromide are inorganic compounds with the chemical formula MgBr2(H2O)x, where x can range from 0 to 9. They are all white deliquescent solids. Some magnesium bromides have been found naturally as rare minerals such as bischofite and carnallite.[2][3]

Synthesis

Magnesium bromide can be synthesized by treating magnesium oxide (and related basic salts) with hydrobromic acid.[3] It can also be made by reacting magnesium carbonate and hydrobromic acids, and collecting the solid left after evaporation.[2]

As suggested by its easy conversion to various hydrates, anhydrous MgBr2 is a Lewis acid. In the coordination polymer with the formula MgBr2(dioxane)2, Mg2+ adopts an octahedral geometry.[4]

Uses and reactions

Magnesium bromide is used as a Lewis acidcatalyst in some organic synthesis, e.g., in aldol reaction.[5]

Magnesium bromide also has been used as a tranquilizer[2] and as an anticonvulsant for treatment of nervous disorders.[6]

Magnesium bromide modifies the catalytic properties of palladium on charcoal.[7]

Magnesium bromide hexahydrate has properties as a flame retardant.[8]

Treatment of magnesium bromide with chlorine gives magnesium chloride. This reaction is employed in the production of magnesium chloride from brines.[9]

Structure

Two hydrates are known, the hexahydrate and the nonahydrate. Several reports claim a decahydrate, but X-ray crystallography confirmed that it is a nonahydrate. The hydrates feature [Mg(H2O)6]2+ ions.[10]
