Europium(II) iodide

Europium(II) iodide is the iodide salt of divalent europium cation.

Europium(II) iodide can be prepared in a handful of ways, including:

Reduction of europium(III) iodide with hydrogen gas at 350 °C:

Thermal decomposition of europium(III) iodide at 200 °C:

Reaction of europium with mercury(II) iodide:

Reaction of europium with ammonium iodide:

Europium(II) iodide has several polymorphs. It adopts a monoclinic crystal structure in space group P 21/c (no. 14).

It also adopts an orthorhombic polymorph in space group Pbca (no. 61). This form is isostructural with strontium iodide.
