Iodotrifluoroethylene is the organofluorine compound with the formula C 2F 3I. It is a volatile colorless liquid.
Preparation and reactions
It is prepared by iodination of trifluorovinyl lithium.[1]
Iodotrifluoroethylene reacts with cadmium metal to give CdC2F3(I).[2]
It reacts with nitric oxide under UV light, producing a nitroso compound, with iodine as a byproduct:[3]
2 C 2F 3I + 2 NO → 2 C 2F 3NO + I 2
