Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Vanadium(II) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula VI2. It is a black micaceous solid. It adopts the cadmium iodide structure, featuring octahedral V(II) centers. [2] The hexahydrate [V(H2O)6]I2, an aquo complex, is also known. It forms red-violet crystals. The hexahydrate dehydrates under vacuum to give a red-brown tetrahydrate with the formula V(H2O)4I2. [3]

Preparation

The original synthesis of VI2 involved reaction of the elements. [2]

Solvated vanadium(II) iodides can be prepared by reduction of vanadium(III) chlorides with trimethylsilyl iodide. [4] It reacts with anhydrous ammonia to give the hexaammine complex. [5]
