DIIODOMETHANE Chemical Properties

Diiodomethane's Molecular formula: CH2I2
Molar mass: 267.84 g/mol
Appearance: Light yellow to gold liquid with chloroform-like odour
Density: 3.325 g/cm3
Melting point: 6 °C, 279 K, 43 °F
Boiling point: 181 °C (358 °F)
Solubility in water: 14 g/l at 20 °C
Flash point: 113 °C
Diiodomethane is light yellow to gold  liquid halomethane soluble in ether and alcohol, but insoluble in water.
Diiodomethane has a relatively high refractive index of 1.741. Fresh diiodomethane is a colorless liquid. However, exposure to light causes it to slowly decompose and liberate iodine, which colours it brownish.

DIIODOMETHANE Uses

Diiodomethane is used with its high specific gravity for the separation of minerals or for determination of specific gravity of mineral particles.
Diiodomethane is also used as a solvent and can be a reaction intermediate in the Simmons-Smith reaction, ect.

DIIODOMETHANE Production

Diiodomethane is commercially available. It may also be prepared by reducing iodoform with sodium arsenite:
        CHI3 + Na3AsO3 + NaOH → CH2I2 + NaI + Na3AsO4

DIIODOMETHANE Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal and subcutaneous routes. Probably an irritant and narcotic in high concentration. Human systemic effects: acute pulmonary edema, somnolence. Potentially explosive reaction with diethyl zinc + alkenes. Violent reaction with copper-zinc alloys + ether. Forms very shock-sensitive explosive mixtures with potassium, potassium-sodium alloys, and lithium. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of I. See also IODIDES.
