Application
Gallium(III) bromide, appearing as a white crystalline powder, serves multiple roles in chemical processes. It is primarily used as an organic intermediate and functions as a powerful oxidizing agent, capable of releasing oxygen free radicals from water present in mucous membranes. Additionally, Gallium(III) bromide can catalyze the coupling of indoles with phenylacetylene, facilitating the formation of compounds such as 1,1-bis(1H-3-indolyl)-1-phenylethanes.
