Chemical compound
Protactinium tetraiodide is a binary inorganic compound of protactinium metal and iodine with the chemical formula PaI4.[1] [2]
Synthesis
Protactinium tetraiodide can be prepared by reducing the pentaiodide with aluminum at about 400 °C:[3]
- 3PaI5 + Al → 3PaI4 + AlI3
Also, a reaction of hydrogen reduction of protactinium(V) iodide at 400 °C:[4]
- 2PaI5 + H2 → 2PaI4 + 2HI
Physical properties
The compound forms black or dark green crystals.[4] The structure is not known.[5]
Chemical properties
The compound is oxidized by antimony trioxide when heated in a vacuum:[6]
- 3PaI4 + Sb2O3 → 3PaOI2 + 2SbI3
The compound also reacts with quartz when heated:[dubious – discuss ]
- 2PaI4 + SiO2 → 2PaOI2 + SiI4
