Tetraiodine nonoxide is an iodine oxide with the chemical formula I4O9.
Preparation
[edit]Tetraiodine nonoxide can be produced by reacting ozone and iodine in carbon tetrachloride at −78 °C:[2][3]
- 2 I2 + 9 O3 → I4O9 + 9 O2
It can also be produced by heating iodic acid and phosphoric acid together:[4]
- 8 HIO3 → 2 I4O9 + 4 H2O + O2
Properties
[edit]Tetraiodine nonoxide is a light yellow solid that can easily hydrolyze. It decomposes above 75 °C:[2]
- 4 I4O9 → 6 I2O5 + 2 I2 + 3 O2
Like diiodine tetroxide, tetraiodine nonoxide contains both I(III) and I(V), and disproportionate to iodate and iodide under alkaline conditions:[2]
- 3 I4O9 + 12 HO− → I− + 11 IO−3 + 6 H2O
It reacts with water to form iodic acid and iodine:[3]
- 4 I4O9 + 9 H2O → 18 HIO3 + I2
