Product Overview
Iron(II) iodide, UltraDry™ grade, delivers 99.99% metals basis purity, ensuring minimal impurities for critical laboratory applications. This anhydrous form is meticulously packaged to prevent moisture absorption, preserving its reactivity and stability. The compound’s high purity makes it suitable for synthesis requiring precise stoichiometry, such as organometallic catalysis or inorganic preparations. Its crystalline structure and controlled particle size enhance solubility in polar solvents, facilitating uniform reaction kinetics. The UltraDry™ designation guarantees low water content (<50 ppm), reducing side reactions in moisture-sensitive processes. Compatible with standard Schlenk techniques, this reagent is ideal for air-free environments. Store under inert gas (argon/nitrogen) to maintain integrity. Sourced from ISO-certified manufacturers, it meets rigorous analytical standards for research-grade chemicals.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Iron(II) iodide, UltraDry™ when stored properly?
When stored under inert gas in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, the shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture. Avoid exposure to air or humidity to prevent degradation.
2. Is this compound compatible with glassware, or are special containers required?
The powder can be handled in standard borosilicate glassware, but for long-term storage, amber glass bottles with PTFE-lined caps are recommended to minimize light exposure and moisture ingress.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for less sensitive applications?
Yes, standard-grade Iron(II) iodide (98% purity) is available for general laboratory use where ultra-high purity is not critical. However, moisture content may vary in non-UltraDry™ versions.
4. How should I dispose of unused Iron(II) iodide?
Dissolve in a compatible solvent (e.g., ethanol or acetone) and neutralize with a reducing agent like sodium thiosulfate before disposal. Follow local hazardous waste regulations for halogenated metal compounds.
5. Can this be used directly in electrochemical applications without further purification?
The 99.99% purity is sufficient for most electrochemical setups, but if trace metals (e.g., Cu, Ni) are a concern, additional purification via recrystallization or sublimation may be necessary.
