Iron dissolves in a solution of iodine in water and evaporation
of the resulting solution leads to a deposit of green crystals of the tetrahydrate. The
anhydrous salt has a CdI2 type lattice and is paramagnetic, μeff(295°K) = 5·75 B.M. It is
very soluble in water with slight hydrolysis and also soluble in ether and ethanol.
Uses
