Product Information

• Name: Tetraiodoethylene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetraiodoethylene is a non-metallic chemical compound that has the chemical formula C4H3I4. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic odor. Tetraiodoethylene can be used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a precursor to other compounds. It is also used as an additive in photographic film and paper development, textile processing, and the manufacture of semiconductors. Tetraiodoethylene can be synthesized by oxidation of iodine with hydrogen iodide or by reaction of iodine with an alkyl halide (e.g., ethyl chloride) at elevated temperatures. The infrared spectrum of tetraiodoethylene shows peaks at 2800 cm-1, 1740 cm-1, 1620 cm-1, 1530 cm-1, 1450 cm-1, 1380 cm-1, 1270 cm-1, 1160 cm-1, 1070 cm-1, 1035 cm-1
