Germanium iodide

Germanium iodide is a chemical compound of germanium and iodine. Two such compounds exist: germanium(II) iodide GeI₂ and germanium(IV) iodide GeI₄ ^[1].

germanium(II) iodide is a crystalline solid which decomposes on melting. Its specific density is 5.37 and it can be sublimed at 240°C in a vacuum.

germanium(IV) iodide is a crystalline solid with melting point 144°C and boiling point 440 °C (with decomposition). Its specific density is 4.32.
