Potassium biiodate, KH(IO3)2, is a primary standard strong acid in analytical chemistry.[4][5]

Chemistry

The biiodate anion is a hydrogen-bonded species formed from the reaction of an iodate anion with undissociated iodic acid.[6]

IO3 + HIO3 → [H(IO3)2]     Kc ≈ 4 dm3 mol−1

Ferroelectricity

Potassium biiodate forms a ferroelectric phase below the Curie point of TC = 223(2) K.[7] The second-order phase transition appears to be associated with the ordering of the hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.[8]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. Hazards were assessed as for an equimolar mixture of potassium iodate and iodic acid.
