Germanium iodide (GeI2)

Description:
Germanium iodide (GeI2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark red to brown crystalline appearance. It is a covalent compound formed from germanium and iodine, exhibiting a tetrahedral molecular geometry. GeI2 is known for its relatively high solubility in organic solvents, such as carbon disulfide and chloroform, but is less soluble in water. The compound has a melting point that allows it to exist as a solid at room temperature, and it can decompose upon heating, releasing iodine vapors. Germanium iodide is primarily used in the synthesis of other germanium compounds and in the field of semiconductor technology. It can also serve as a precursor for germanium-based materials in optoelectronic applications. Additionally, GeI2 exhibits interesting optical properties, making it a subject of study in photonics. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and it may cause skin and eye irritation.
