Iodobenzene ( C6H5I ) is an aromatic halogenated hydrocarbon. The molecule is built up, such as benzene, any of the six hydrogen atoms of the benzene is substituted by an iodine atom. It is a colorless liquid and substantially non-polar, thus insoluble in water, soluble in alcohols, benzene, and ethers. When storing in the air, iodobenzene turns brown due Iodabscheidung.

Representation

A presentation by halogenation as chloro- and bromobenzene, is not possible. The synthesis is possible in the course of a Sandmeyer reaction with a diazotising aniline and subsequent addition of an iodide solution (e.g. sodium iodide ):
