Synthesis
editPotassium tetrachloroiodate(III) can be obtained by reacting iodine, potassium chlorate, and 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution containing 1.5 mol/L potassium chloride, condensing, filtering, and vacuum drying. The reaction is:[3][4]
- 2 KClO3 + I2 ⇌ 2 KIO3 + Cl2
- KIO3 + 6 HCl ⇌ KICl4 + Cl2 + 3 H2O
