What is Nitryl Iodide?
I was thinking about N2O5, and realised, it is just Nitryl Nitrate.
So following this simple reaction, nitryl iodide may be synthesized from N2O5 and KI.
KI + N2O5 --> INO2 + KNO3
Is there any solvent you can use for this?
And is Nitryl Iodide stable?DDTea - 12-7-2004 at 08:41
The nitryl iodide used in this reaction is generated in situ by the reaction of sodium nitrite [1] or silver nitrite [2] with iodine.
It didn't mention much about stability, but clearly it exists. I think the sodium nitrite way is a lot nicer than trying to work with N2O5..
Beyond that, I imagine Nitryl Iodide to be a poisonous and irritating compound owing to the Nitro group together with Iodine. It should be soluble in
Dichloromethane or other organic solvents.
