Protactinium (V) iodide is a chemical compound of protactinium from the group of iodides .

presentation

Protactinium (V) iodide can be obtained by reacting protactinium with iodine at 450 ° C.

It is also possible to produce it by iodizing protactinium (V) oxide with silicon tetraiodide at 600 to 700 ° C

or by re-halogenation of protactinium (V) chloride or protactinium (V) bromide with silicon tetraiodide

or by reaction of protactinium (V) chloride with hydrogen iodide or protactinium (V) oxide with aluminum iodide

It can also be produced by reacting protactinium carbide PaC with iodine at 400 ° C.

properties

Protactinium (V) iodide is an extremely moisture and air sensitive black crystalline solid that looks brown when powdered. It is soluble in anhydrous acetonitrile and ethanol , insoluble in trichloromethane , carbon tetrachloride , isopentane and cyclohexane . It sublimates with metallic-green-shimmering vapor, which appears deep ruby ​​red colored in the transmitted light. The compound has an orthorhombic crystal structure . By thermal decomposition of protactinium (V) iodide on a heated tungsten wire, metallic protactinium was obtained for the first time in 1934 by Aristid von Grosse .
