IRON (II) IODIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

black crystalline powder

Chemical Properties

Iron dissolves in a solution of iodine in water and evaporation of the resulting solution leads to a deposit of green crystals of the tetrahydrate. The anhydrous salt has a CdI2 type lattice and is paramagnetic, μeff(295°K) = 5·75 B.M. It is very soluble in water with slight hydrolysis and also soluble in ether and ethanol.

Uses

Iron(II) iodide is used as a catalyst in organic reactions.

Uses

As catalyst for organic reactions.
