• Description: Nitrogen triiodide (black unstable crystals) explodes at the slightest touch when dry. When handled, it is kept wet with ether. It is too sensitive to be used as an explosive, because it cannot be stored, handled, or transported.

Technology Process of Nitrogen triiodide

There total 18 articles about Nitrogen triiodide 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: 30.0%

boron nitride (10043-11-5) + iodine (7553-56-2,12190-71-5,8031-47-8) + fluorine (7782-41-4) → nitrogen triiodide (13444-85-4)

Guidance literature:
