Magnesium bromide is an inorganic salt that is a white powder. It is used as a flame retardant and an additive to plastics, textiles, and rubber. Magnesium bromide has been shown to have hydroxyl groups that can bind with the chloride ions of sodium-dependent glucose. This product can be used as a catalyst for asymmetric synthesis. Magnesium bromide has a high thermal expansion coefficient and can be used for this purpose in construction materials such as insulation or concrete. The redox potentials of magnesium bromide make it suitable for use in reactions that require oxidation or reduction reactions. Magnesium bromide has been shown to have transport properties due to its cationic polymerization capability, which can be used to store gases. This product also has biological properties, such as its ability to function as a β-amino acid ligand, which may lead to other applications in medicine or biochemistry.
