title: Hexaaqua-dibromidoeuropium(III) bromide, [EuBr(2)(H(2)O)(6)]Br.
abstract: The title compound crystallizes with the GdCl(3)·6H(2)O structure type, exhibiting discrete [EuBr(2)(H(2)O)(6)](+) cations as the main building blocks, linked with isolated bromide anions via H⋯Br hydrogen bonds to form a complex framework. The Eu atom and one Br atom each lie on a twofold rotation axis.
