Rhodium(III) bromide refers to inorganic compounds of the formula RhBr₃(H₂O)_n where n = 0 or approximately three. Both forms are brown solids. The hydrate is soluble in water and lower alcohols. It is used to prepare rhodium bromide complexes.^[2] Rhodium bromides are similar to the chlorides, but have attracted little academic or commercial attention.
