Chromium(II) bromide is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula CrBr₂. Like many metal dihalides, CrBr₂ adopts the "cadmium iodide structure" motif, i.e., it features sheets of octahedral Cr(II) centers interconnected by bridging bromide ligands. It is a white solid that dissolves in water to give blue solutions that are readily oxidized by air.
