Cerium(III) iodide (CeI₃) is the compound formed by cerium(III) cations and iodide anions.

Preparation

Cerium metal reacts with iodine when heated to form cerium(III) iodide:^[2]

2 Ce + 3 I
2 → 2 CeI
3

It is also formed when cerium reacts with mercury(II) iodide at high temperatures:^[2]

2 Ce + 3 HgI
2 → 2 CeI
3 + 3 Hg

Cerium(III) iodide adopts the plutonium(III) bromide crystal structure.^[3]^[4] It contains 8-coordinate bicapped trigonal prismatic Ce³⁺ ions.^[1]

Cerium(III) iodide is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate^[5] and as a starting material for organocerium compounds.^[2]
