Aluminum iodide powder is a highly reactive, hygroscopic inorganic compound composed of aluminum and iodine. It typically appears as a white to yellowish crystalline powder and is well-known for its Lewis acidity and moisture sensitivity, making it a valuable material in organic synthesis, catalysis, and halide chemistry.
Our high purity aluminum iodide powder is synthesized and packaged under anhydrous, inert conditions to maintain its ≥99.99% purity and phase stability. The fine powder form offers high surface area and excellent reactivity, particularly suitable for laboratory use, chemical vapor transport, and advanced synthetic applications.
Purity: ≥99.9%
Fine powder form for uniform dispersion and fast reaction kinetics
Stringently dried and sealed to prevent hydrolysis
Custom particle size ranges available
Organic Synthesis: Used as a strong Lewis acid catalyst in Friedel–Crafts reactions, esterification, and cleavage of ethers.
Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT): Employed in the preparation and purification of metallic or semiconducting crystals.
Halide Chemistry: Reacts with metals, metal oxides, and complex ligands to form iodide-based compounds.
Ionic Liquids and Electrolytes: Precursor for specialized aluminum-based iodide salts.
Materials Research: Used in halide perovskite and solid-state ion conductor synthesis.
Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying:
Optional third-party or customized analysis (e.g., SEM, TGA/DSC) is available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed containers under argon or dry nitrogen atmosphere.
Avoid exposure to moisture and direct light.
Use glovebox or Schlenk techniques when transferring or handling the powder.
In case of hydrolysis, hydrogen iodide (HI) gas is released, which is corrosive and toxic.
