Aluminium iodide is a chemical compound containing aluminium and iodine. Invariably, the name refers to a compound of the composition AlI3, formed by the reaction of aluminium and iodine[4] or the action of HI on Al metal. The hexahydrate is obtained from a reaction between metallic aluminum or aluminum hydroxide with hydrogen iodide or hydroiodic acid. Like the related chloride and bromide, AlI3 is a strong Lewis acid and will absorb water from the atmosphere. It is employed as a reagent for the scission of certain kinds of C-O and N-O bonds. It cleaves aryl ethers and deoxygenates epoxides.[5]

Structure

Solid AlI3 is dimeric, consisting of Al2I6, similar to that of AlBr3.[3] The structure of monomeric and dimeric forms have been characterized in the gas phase.[6] The monomer, AlI3, is trigonal planar with a bond length of 2.448(6) Å, and the bridged dimer, Al2I6, at 430 K is a similar to Al2Cl6 and Al2Br6 with Al–I bond lengths of 2.456(6) Å (terminal) and 2.670(8) Å (bridging). The dimer is described as floppy with an equilibrium geometry of D2h.

File:06. Директна синтеза на алуминиум јодид.webm The name "aluminium iodide" is widely assumed to describe the triiodide or its dimer. In fact, a monoiodide also enjoys a role in the Al–I system, although the compound AlI is unstable at room temperature relative to the triiodide:[7]

An illustrative derivative of aluminium monoiodide is the cyclic adduct formed with triethylamine, Al4I4(NEt3)4.
