Once I dissolved Iodine in acetone and then I added Ammonia to it but after few minutes it seems Iodine vanished !!! I don't know what reaction
happened???bismuthate - 12-3-2014 at 03:32
I assume that the liquid became yellow and that you also had small amounts of yellow material. What you had was the haloform reaction in which
iodoform is formed. Ammonia is sufficiently alkaline to get this reaction.
Search google for "haloform reaction" combined with chloroform or iodoform. I'm quite sure you will find interesting reads.wish i had a kraken!!! - 12-3-2014 at 06:55

I found good reads thanks
But an Idea crossed my mind is that possible to substitute NO3 Ion with Iodine in Iodoacetone???
Be carful as iodoacetone is a tear gas. woelen - 12-3-2014 at 08:02
Iodine and NH3 give NI3 (better: NI3.nNH3, with n possibly up to 10 or so, depending on concentration of NH3), but when acetone is present as well,
then the haloform reaction takes preference over the formation of NI3.nNH3. thebean - 12-3-2014 at 10:24
I'd be careful mixing random things without any idea of what might happen. As a few other people have mentioned you probably produced iodoacetone (a
powerful lachrymatory agent so don't breath it in) or nitrogen triiodide which is explosive and very sensitive or a mix of both. Either way they're
cool products but not something to take lightly.wish i had a kraken!!! - 12-3-2014 at 11:34

U know when I was a Kid I used to make nitrogen triiodide I did it by adding Ammonia on a solution of water+iodine (as u know iodine is insoluble in
water so we added KI which helps iodine to form a ligand i guess , it makes iodine soluble in water) so I did the same proses but a new idea crossed
my mind (why don't just use acetone instead of water and eliminate use of KI???) wish i had a kraken!!! - 12-3-2014 at 11:47
What are the dangers of iodoacetone ??? TheChemiKid - 12-3-2014 at 13:31

Iodoacetone (vapor) is a lachrymator even at low concentrations and is toxic by inhalation.wish i had a kraken!!! - 13-3-2014 at 00:13
What would be the result of the following reaction?
Iodoacetone + AgNO3 thebean - 13-3-2014 at 05:35
I don't know how likely a reaction like that is to occur without extreme conditions. First try figuring out the formula of iodoacetone. 2-propanone is
acetone's systematic name, that should help you figure out the formula of iodoacetone.
