Description and Uses

Zirconium(IV) iodide, ZrI4, is the most readily available iodide of zirconium. It is an orange-colored solid that degrades in the presence of water. The compound was once renowned as an intermediate in the purification of zirconium metal. This compound is volatile, subliming as intact tetrahedral ZrI4 molecules.

Used in the van Arkel-de Boer refining process.
