Properties | Indium iodide is magenta or yellow crystal. Melting point 210 ℃, relative density 4.69. Soluble in acid, chloroform, benzene. The water is extremely unstable. |
uses | indium and its compounds are familiar to everyone. high purity indium iodide (InI3) can be used in electronics, instrumentation, metallurgical industries, and optical technology Suitable mercury additive in. InI3 is used in high-pressure discharge lamps and metal halide lamps. The indium iodide high-pressure lamps manufactured have high light rate and good color properties. In recent years, due to the high efficiency and excellent color development performance of indium halide, high-intensity discharge, especially metal halide lamps, has gradually replaced halogen lamps as high-output point light sources in various application fields. |
preparation | indium iodide can be obtained by heating indium and excess iodine in a CO2 gas stream (150~200 ℃). |
production method | indium is dissolved in refluxed iodine (5% excess) CS2 solution. Light yellow triiodide crystals can be precipitated when the concentrated solution is cooled (the yield is about 80%). InI3 can also be prepared by heating indium and iodine vapor at 150~200 ℃ in air saturated with carbon dioxide. It is extremely hygroscopic and soluble in water. |
