Thulium(II) iodide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TmI2.

Preparation and properties

Thulium(II) iodide can be obtained by reacting thulium(III) iodide and alkali metals in a tantalum container at 700~800°C. TmI2 can be obtained by using lithium and sodium as reducing agents, while potassium, rubidium and caesium can generate the perovskite structure MTmI3. [2] TmI2 can also react directly with CsI (340 °C) to generate CsTmI3. [3]

Thulium(II) iodide can also be prepared by reacting thulium and mercury(I) iodide. The reaction process is as follows: [1]

2 Tm + 3 HgI2 → 2 TmI3 + 3 Hg
Tm + HgI2 → TmI2 + Hg
Tm + 2 TmI3 → 3 TmI2

Europium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal europium (Eu). In these compounds, europium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as EuCl3, Eu(NO3)3 and Eu(CH3COO)3. Compounds with europium in the +2 oxidation state are also known. The +2 ion of europium is the most stable divalent ion of lanthanide metals in aqueous solution. Many europium compounds fluoresce under ultraviolet light due to the excitation of electrons to higher energy levels. Lipophilic europium complexes often feature acetylacetonate-like ligands, e.g., Eufod.
