Promethium(III) iodide, PmI3, is the only known iodide of promethium. It is prepared (on a 100-µg scale) by reacting gaseous hydrogen iodide with promethium(III) oxide at 400 °C.[1] At ambient temperature, it has the plutonium tribromide structure with eight-coordinate promethium, isostructural with NdI3: a high-temperature modification has the bismuth triiodide structure with six-coordinate promethium, isostructural with SmI3.[1][2]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. The molar mass is based on promethium-147 (t½ = 2.6234(2) a; Ar = 146.915 1385(26)),[3] the most commonly encountered isotope of promethium.
