Diiodomethane or
methylene iodide is liquid
halomethane insoluble in water, soluble in
ether and
alcohol. It has a relatively high
refractive index of 1.741. Fresh diiodomethane is a colorless liquid. However, exposure to light causes it to slowly decompose and liberate
iodine, which colours it brownish.
With its high
specific gravity, it's used for the separation of minerals or for determination of specific gravity of mineral particles. Due to its possible toxicity, it should be replaced with safer heavy liquids. It is also used as a
solvent and a chemical intermediate for example in the
Simmons-Smith reaction.
