Cobalt(II) iodide or cobaltous iodide are the inorganic compounds with the formula CoI2 and the hexahydrate CoI2(H2O)6. These salts are the principal iodides of cobalt.[1]

Synthesis

Cobalt(II) iodide is prepared by treating cobalt powder with gaseous hydrogen iodide.[1] The hydrated form CoI2.6H2O can be prepared by the reaction of cobalt(II) oxide (or related cobalt compounds) with hydroiodic acid.

Cobalt(II) iodide crystallizes in two polymorphs, the α- and β-forms. The α-polymorph consists of black hexagonal crystals, which turn dark green when exposed to air. Under a vacuum at 500 °C, samples of α-CoI2 sublime, yielding the β-polymorph as a yellow crystals. β-CoI2 also readily absorbs moisture from the air, converting into green hydrate. At 400 °C, β-CoI2 reverts to the α-form.[1]

Structures

The anhydrous salts adopt the cadmium halide structures.

The hexaaquo salt consists of separated [Co(H2O)6]2+ and iodide ions as verified crystallographically.[2][3]

Reactions and applications

Anhydrous cobalt(II) iodide is sometimes used to test for the presence of water in various solvents.[4]

Cobalt(II) iodide is used as a catalyst, e.g. in carbonylations. It catalyzes the reaction of diketene with Grignard reagents, useful for the synthesis of terpenoids[5]
