YbBr3·6H2O can be crystallized by dissolving ytterbium oxide in 40% hydrobromic acid. Anhydrous YbBr3 can be obtained by mixing hydrate and ammonium bromide and heating in vacuum.
Yb2O3 + 6 HBr → 2 YbBr3 + 3 H2O
Ytterbium bromide can also be obtained by direct heating reaction of oxide and ammonium bromide
