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