Abstract: The title compound, [Sc2Br6(NH3)2], was obtained by the reaction of ammonium bromide, (NH4)Br, with scandium metal in a sealed tantalum metal container. The crystal structure contains zigzag chains of edge-connected [Sc(NH3)Br5] octahedra according to the formulation [Sc(NH3)1/1Br1/1Br4/2]. Sc(NH3)Br3 is isotypic with Sc(NH3)Cl3.
