Abstract
WE have recently investigated the reaction between monosilane, SiH1, and hydrogen iodide at 80° in the presenee of aluminium iodide, and have isolated from the products two stable iodides of the formulæ SiH2I2 and SiH3I, which are formed together with silico-iodoform and silicon tetraiodide. The former is a heavy colourless liquid of low volatility (vapour pressure 2–3 mm. at 0°), while the monoiodide is a liquid of boiling point 45·8° and melting point—56·5°, which resembles methyl iodide in appearance.
