Technology Process of Triiodogallium

There total 11 articles about Triiodogallium which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield: 93.0%

gallium (7440-55-3) + iodine (7553-56-2,12190-71-5,8031-47-8) → gallium(III) iodide (13450-91-4)

Guidance literature:

In hexane; Ga was suspended in degassed n-hexane under argon, 1.5 equiv. I2 was added, mixt. was refluxed for 1-3 h; elem. anal.;

Reference yield:

gallium selenide + gallium(I) iodide → gallium(II) selenide + gallium(III) iodide (13450-91-4)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); prepn. from Ga2Se3 and GaI at temp. 200-300°C lower than the melting point of GaSe; elem. anal.;

Reference yield:

selenium dimer (12185-17-0) + gallium(II) iodide → gallium(II) selenide + gallium(III) iodide (13450-91-4)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); on cooling GaI3 sublimes to the cold part of the cell;
