Lutetium(III) iodide is an iodide of lutetium, with the chemical formula of LuI3.
The lutetium iodide hydrate crystallized from the solution can be heated with ammonium iodide to obtain the anhydrate. [2]
Preparation
Lutetium(III) iodide can be obtained by the heating metallic lutetium with mercury iodide:
- 2 Lu + 3 HgI2 → 2 LuI3 + 3 Hg
The elemental mercury generated in the reaction can be removed by distillation.[1]
