Caesium bromide, (CsBr), is an ionic compound of caesium and bromine. It has the caesium chloride structure, with a caesium–bromine distance of 303.72 nm.

Synthesis

It can be prepared via following reactions:

CsOH + HBr → CsBr + H2O
Cs2(CO3) + 2HBr → 2CsBr + H2O + CO2
  • Direct synthesis:
2Cs + Br2 → 2CsBr

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

Uses

Caesium bromide is sometimes used in optics as a prism or beamsplitter component in wide-band spectrophotometers due to its good transparency to infrared radiation.[2] it has also been unsed in X-ray fluorescent screens.[2]
