Iridium(III) iodide is an iodide of iridium, with the chemical formula of IrI3.
Iridium(III) iodide can be obtained by reducing iridium(IV) iodide with hydrogen at 210 °C. [2] It can also be formed by the reaction of iridium dioxide [3] or iridium(III) hydroxide with hydrogen iodide. [4]
Iridium(III) iodide is a dark brown solid that is insoluble in water. [1] It is monoclinic like chromium trichloride. [5] [6] Its trihydrate is yellow and can be dehydrated into the dihydrate or anhydrous form on heating. Iridium(III) iodide also has a monohydrate. [3] [7]
