Preparation
Europium(II) iodide can be prepared in a handful of ways, including:
Reduction of europium(III) iodide with hydrogen gas at 350 °C:[1]
- 2 EuI3 + H2 → 2 EuI2 + 2 HI
Thermal decomposition of europium(III) iodide at 200 °C:[1]
- 2 EuI3 → 2 EuI2 + 2 I2
Reaction of europium with mercury(II) iodide:[1]
- Eu + HgI2 → Eu I2 + Hg
Reaction of europium with ammonium iodide:[1]
- Eu + 2 NH4I → EuI2 + 2 NH3 + H2
Structure
Europium(II) iodide has several polymorphs.[2] It adopts a monoclinic crystal structure in space group P 21/c (no. 14).[3][4]
It also adopts an orthorhombic polymorph in space group Pbca (no. 61). This form is isostructural with strontium iodide.[5]
A third polymorph of europium(II) iodide is formed if it is prepared from europium and ammonium iodide at low temperatures (200 K) in liquid ammonia. This low-temperature phase is orthorhombic and in space group Pnma (no. 62). This is the same structure as modification IV of strontium iodide.[6]
