Tetraiodoethylene, also known as 1,1,2,2-tetraiodoethene (CAS # 513-92-8), is a highly iodinated organic compound with the chemical formula C₂I₄. It typically appears as a light-yellow crystalline solid. This compound is generally insoluble in water but can dissolve in some organic solvents.
Due to its structure and iodine content, Tetraiodoethylene is particularly sensitive to light. This means it requires careful handling and storage in the dark to prevent decomposition and maintain its purity.
Tetraiodoethylene’s applications play an important role in many specialized chemical and material science innovations. Because it’s commonly used in specialized, high-stakes industries and processes, applications may include:
Organic synthesis: This compound serves as a reagent or intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including polymers and dyes.
Material science: Tetraiodoethylene can be used to create unique properties in materials, such as co-crystallization and supramolecular networks.
Fungicide and antiseptic formulations: It has also been historically used as an active ingredient in specialty fungicides and topical antiseptic preparations.
Advanced electronic materials: The unique properties of this compound make it useful for research and development in organic semiconductors, conductive polymers and other specialized electronic components.
Sensitive applications require the highest purity and batch consistency possible. Iofina manages the entire manufacturing process, from raw materials to the final product. Our WET® IOsorb® technology involves using innovative, environmentally responsible processes to extract iodine from existing brine water streams. We obtain the water, secure the iodine and then return the water to its source. This approach allows us to create value from a waste stream without any unnecessary drilling, mining or blasting.
As a leading North American producer, we provide stability and a reliable supply chain without the complications of overseas chemical sourcing. Our customized solutions and trusted support keep you operating more efficiently at every stage.
Partnering with an experienced, sustainability-friendly iodine producer is how you can help prepare your business prepare for the future. Combined with our decades of experience supplying commercial quantities of specialty chemicals, we take pride in simplifying our customers’ Tetraiodoethylene needs.
