Synthesis of Dipyridineiodine(I) Nitrate

Last Update: August 29, 2005

 

Follow the procedure in reference 1.  Note that the solvents must be reasonably dry for this synthesis to work and that the product is relatively moisture and light sensitive.  If time permits, you may attempt to replace the pyridines with other amine-containing ligands.
