General description

Potassium bromide (KBr) is an alkaline-earth halide. Density, viscosity and electrolytic conductivity of concentrated aqueous solutions of alkaline-earth halides have been evaluated.

Application

May be used for removal of peripheral membrane proteins.
Potassium bromide may be employed in the following studies:
  • Spectrophotometric determination of aromatic amino compounds.
  • Preparation of AgBr nanoparticles (NPs).
  • In combination with cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate (CAN), has been employed for the bromination of alkenes.
  • As oxidant for the selective monobromination of various deactivated anilines.
