Deep bleu-green solution | [Uses]
In organic synthesis and electron transfer reactions; in discharge lamps. | [Description]
Samarium(II) iodide, SmI2, when employed as a solution for organic synthesis, is known as “Kagan’s reagent.” SmI2 is a green solid and its solutions are green as well. It is a strong one-electron reducing agent that is used in organic synthesis. Solid, solvent-free SmI2 forms by high-temperature decomposition of samarium(III) iodide (SmI3). | [Purification Methods]
A possible impurity is SmI3 from which it is made. If present, grind the solid to a powder and heat it in a stream of pure H2. The temperature (~ 500-600o) should be below the m (~ 628o) of SmI3, since the molten compounds react very slowly. [Wetzel in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol II pp 1149, 1150 1965.] |
