Preparation
editGold monoiodide can be obtained by reacting a tetrachloridoauric acid solution with furthermore potassium iodide. It is also possible to produce it by reacting gold and iodine in a protective atmosphere at around 390 °C.[5]
Properties
editGold monoiodide is a yellow, crystalline powder that gradually decomposes upon contact with water, humidity or light. It has a tetragonal crystal structure with the space group P42/ncm (space group no. 138), a = 4.359 Å, c = 13.711 Å.[5]
