Caesium tribromide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CsBr3.

It can be obtained by crystallization from a concentrated aqueous solution of caesium bromide containing large amounts of bromine,[3] or by the hydrothermal reaction of caesium bromide, caesium bromate, and hydrobromic acid, in which bromine is generated in situ.[2]

It is isostructural with caesium triiodide and caesium diiodide bromide, and belongs to the orthorhombic Pmnb space group.[3]

It decomposes at 38 °C.[4]

It can oxidize some Au(I) complexes to Au(II) or Au(III) complexes.[5][1]
