Curium(III) iodide is the chemical compound with the formulaCmI3.[1][2][3] Since all isotopes of curium are only artificially produced, the compound has no natural occurrence.
Elemental curium and iodine can be reacted to synthesize curium(III) iodide.[4]
Also by the reaction ofcurium(III) chloride withammonium iodide:[5][6]
Curium(III) iodide is a colorless ionic compound consisting of Cm3+ and I− ions. It forms white crystals thehexagonal crystal system in the space groupR3 (space group no. 148) with the lattice parameters a = 744 pm and c = 2040 pm with six units per unit cell. Its crystal structure is isotypic with that ofbismuth(III) iodide.[5][7]
