Thulium diiodide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TmI2.

Preparation and properties

Thulium diiodide can be obtained by reacting thulium(III) iodide and alkali metals in a tantalum container at 700~800°C. TmI2 can be obtained by using lithium and sodium as reducing agents, while potassium, rubidium and caesium can generate the perovskite structure MTmI3.[2] TmI2 can also react directly with CsI (340 °C) to generate CsTmI3.[3]

Thulium iodide can also be prepared by reacting thulium and mercury(I) iodide. The reaction process is as follows:[1]

2 Tm + 3 HgI2 → 2 TmI3 + 3 Hg
Tm + HgI2 → TmI2 + Hg
Tm + 2 TmI3 → 3 TmI2
