English name: Aluminum iodide

CAS: 7784-23-8

Chemical formula: AlI₃

Relative molecular weight: 407.6949

Properties: aluminum iodide is very hygroabsorbent, and it will smoke in the air and decompose into iodine and alumina when heated. It only sublimates without decomposition in a vacuum. Soluble in carbon disulfide, ethanol, ether. Can react with carbon tetrachloride, hydrazine, phosgene and so on. Solvents such as Ali3 ·xNH3 can be prepared from liquid ammonia. In addition, it can also form solvent complexes with hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, phosphine, etc.
