Niobium(IV) iodide is an iodide of niobium, with the chemical formula of NbI4.

Preparation

[edit]

Niobium(IV) iodide can be obtained by the decomposition of niobium(V) iodide under a vacuum at 206-270 °C.[2]

Properties

[edit]

Niobium(IV) iodide is a grey solid that reacts with water.[1]

Niobium(IV) iodide is an orthorhombic crystal with space group Cmc21 (No. 36).[3] Its crystal is formed by NbI6 octahedra connected by edges and also contains Nb-Nb bonds. At 348 to 417 °C, the crystal structure of niobium(IV) iodide changes.[4] Niobium(IV) iodide turns into a metal under extremely high pressure.[5]
