Neptunium (III) iodide is a chemical compound made up of the elements neptunium and iodine . It has the formula NpI 3 and belongs to the iodide class of substances .

presentation

Neptunium (III) iodide can be produced by reacting neptunium (IV) oxide  (NpO 2 ) with aluminum iodide  (AlI 3 ).

properties

Neptunium (III) iodide is a brown, moisture-sensitive solid that melts at 767 ° C. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system ( plutonium (III) bromide type) in the space group  Ccmm (No. 63, position 2) with the lattice parameters a  = 430  pm , b  = 1403 pm and c  = 995 pm. Template: room group / 63.2

safety instructions

Classifications according to the CLP regulation are not available because they only include chemical hazard and play a completely subordinate role compared to the hazards based on radioactivity . The latter also only applies if the amount of substance involved is relevant.
