Description:1,4-Diiodobenzene, also known as p-diiodobenzene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of two iodine atoms attached to a benzene ring at the 1 and 4 positions. Its molecular formula is C6H4I2, and it has a molecular weight that reflects the presence of the iodine substituents. This compound appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively high melting and boiling points compared to other dihalogenated benzenes due to the strong intermolecular forces associated with the iodine atoms. 1,4-Diiodobenzene is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various iodinated compounds and as a reagent in chemical reactions. Additionally, it has applications in materials science and as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to the presence of iodine, it can also exhibit interesting electronic properties, making it a subject of study in various fields of chemistry.
