Molybdenum (III ) iodide is an inorganic chemical compound of molybdenum from the group of iodides.

Production and representation

Molybdenum (III ) iodide, by reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl with iodine at 105 ° C.

Or molybdenum (V ) chloride are obtained in a carbon disulfide solution with hydrogen iodide.

It is also possible the representation of molybdenum and an excess of iodine is at 300 ° C.

Properties

Molybdenum (III ) iodide is a black, antiferromagnetic at room temperature in air -stable solid. In a vacuum, it decomposes at a temperature of 100 ° C in molybdenum (II ) iodide and iodine. It is insoluble in polar and nonpolar solvents. Molybdenum (III ) iodide has a crystal structure isotypic with that of zirconium ( III ) iodide.
