Molybdenum(II) iodide is an iodide of molybdenum with the chemical formula MoI₂.

Preparation

Molybdenum(II) iodide can be produced by the reaction of molybdenum(II) bromide and lithium iodide:^[1]

[Mo
6Br
8]Br
4 + 12 LiI → [Mo
6I
8]I
4 + 12 LiBr

It can also be produced by the decomposition of molybdenum(III) iodide in a vacuum at 100 °C:^[1]

6 MoI
3 → [Mo
6I
8]I
4 + 3 I
2

Molybdenum(II) iodide is a black solid that is stable in air. It is insoluble in polar and non-polar solvents.^[1]
